Sickness remedies

My 2 old standby remedies ;
1. Colds/Flu - whiskey sour ( 1 nip plus fresh lemon juice), taken before bed.
2. Upset stomach - port and brandy( 1 nip each), taken as required.
 
When you have gastro you can also take 2 tablespoons of brown vinegar. Definitely works.
White vinegar doesn’t work aswell.
Flat lemonade and grated, green apple is what we always had as kids (mum was an RN)
Paediatrician gave my then 14 month old a can of coke and a packet of plain chips. Works like a chatm. Still my go to 35 years later.
 
I’ve actually done the garlic clove thing a couple times when I felt a cold coming on, burns going down but I did feel way better the next day. Not a miracle cure, but seemed to shorten the cold. Haven’t tried the oil trick though, I just chase it with water and deal with the aftertaste.

I didn’t think the old girl was fibbing. Just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Nice to know it works
