Taking medication

[Dayvo]

I've got a heavy cold. I've just had a dose of Night Nurse (not Gregory Isaac's version). Is it wise to have a small brandy, as well.

I have to be up at 6.30 tomorrow morning for work!

I swear by fresh honey and lemon

If the night nurse says avoid alcohol,do that,but making sure your nose and airways are clear will help more with a good nights rest,vic nasal spray is good it works almost instantaineously,and a good steaming bowl of hot water with menthol chrystals and a towel over your head.

Definitely go for the brandy Just make sure you have a loud alarm clock for the morning wake up.

I'm a bit limited to supplies!

Hopfully the NN will do its stuff; the brandy will, hopefully, put me into a deeper sleep. I'm blocked up - both nostrils - sneeze a lot and have started coughing.

I just wondered if it was unadvisable to mix medication with alcohol.

Probably ok

Thanks for your replies!

I'll have a small brandy.

I've spread a layer of Tiger balm under my nose - hopefully it'll be of benefit.

I'm not dead yet, Col, but I will be one day; just hope it isn't for a while!

Same here

Day Nurse at night = no problem
Night Nurse at night = snoring machine. The one time I took it, I was out for the count most of the next day. (And I'm not talking about a pint of the stuff either...just a reg. dose).

Get better soon Dayvo - and may the grass be cut and not half cut tomorrow morn...

 

[Dayvo]

Thanks, Ap!

There's a strong chance that the greens will be considerably greener tomorrow!

Night Nurse liquid is a complete night-time cold treatment; do not take with any other flu, cold or decongestant products or other paracetamol-containing products at night, or with alcohol.

Just a small one then!
Hope your feeling better soon.

Indeed, he's worried about the brandy - I'd be more worried about the Tiger Balm...

After using the Tiger Balm I hope he was careful going to the toilet before getting into bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking from experience, Keith?

Should have stayed in bed this morning. The ride in normally takes about 20 mins taking in a long steepish hill, and a short bugger of a hill; this morning it was 30 - I just couldn't breathe. Sitting down on a grasscutter didn't make things easier. But I had a long hot shower afterwards and felt mad enough to go for a longer, different ride home, so as to make the most of a wonderful autumn day.

I think I'll just have the brandy tonight. Unless the nurse comes round, of course!
