Since the demise of old formula Contac, which got me through my teenage years, I take a multi-pronged approach:
- anti-histamine tablets (generic hay fever 24 hour ones) - decongestant tablets (generic Sudafed). NOT the non-drowsy ones, after an unfortunate experience the night before a job interview, during which I discovered that I could not take new formula Contac and expect to sleep - paracetamol if needed - nose strips to sleep in (those things you see rugby players in) - Vic/smelling salts when I want to smell something - sofa to lie on - several days off work
Though otherwise generally pretty healthy, I am absolutely pole-axed by colds.
