My favourite remedy:
In a tall glass: 1 sachet of Lemsip or Beechams hot lemon Extra dash of lemon or lime juice (optional) Spoonful of honey or brown sugar 3 measures of whiskey or dark rum Top up with very hot water and stir

With four he might be best moving into the shed permanently. ;D:
Only kdding, but when I had real flu I managed to drive home from Devon and could hardly get out of bed for a week and took another 2 weeks to be well enough to go back to work. AND I didnt get paid time off, so that flu cost me 3 weeks money. And/and... I'm now partially deaf in my left ear from post flu complications.
Its said if its real flu you would/could not crawl out of bed even to collect £1,000 in a bag on the street outside. Its true I could hardly get to the toilet. If you'd get out of bed for £50 its not flu.
But the ex (thank goodness she now the ex Mrs Chirodave) couldn't care a fig & always considered it "man flu". Until a year or two later she got real flu but being butch & tough only told me it was just a virus (again, I was away all week). She misjudged that one as she was genuinely ill, but somehow still managed to blame me for it.
So everyone don't ignore the symptoms. If its only a cold you'll be fine - get over it. But flu is serious s**t. It also hits young fit people harder than older fit people as young immune systems work harder and cause more collateral damage.
PS. Old unfit people and babies tend to die.

My mother is almost 80 and she insists the amount of times she has had a cold in her life you can count on one hand and ive certainly never known her to have a cold. Yet she was the youngest of the family and not expected to live beyond the first few weeks.
