I'm full of cold or flu. Taken some paraceptamol to reduce the fever. What do you like to do to feel better even for a short period of time. Need some tips! Feeling so crap

Depends on your symptoms.

  • Paracetamol for a general feeling of malaise
  • Ibuprofen for fever and muscle and joint aches
  • A decongestant like pseudoephedrine if your nose is clogged up, but not the "alternative" phenylephrine that's often pushed now in over the counter decongestants. It just doesn't work. A xylometazoline spray works too, but I try to avoid it because it can easily lead to rebound congestion.
