I'm literally dry heaving from coughing so much.

Ummm... Isn't your husband home?
You are married right? And if you are broke then ask your husband.
Demand service at your bed. It's lovely.

Neither of us have money. We have 16p in the bank account lol. Yeah he's home and looking after me as best as he can, helping me fall asleep and he's taken over cooking whilst I'm unwell. I hate being stuck in bed, I get too hot xD

Too hot eh? Nice for your hubby xD

Hahaha xD it would be if he didn't run hot himself lol

Hot+Hot= Double Hot. Double Nice.

Noo cus then I can't breathe xD oh well. Living is overrated.

But Hotness is not (^_-)
And then things which happen after that too.

Hahaha

Gargling warm salt water will soothe your throat and help clear mucus and bacteria. Drink lots of hot tea (or water with lemon and honey). Adding cinnamon to your tea will make your nose run and keep mucus from going down your throat and making you cough. If you get too hot from drinking tea, switch to cool water - basically just always be drinking something.

Thanks @unicycle. I'll try adding honey to my tea but I can't do the cinnamon trick because we don't keep cinnamon in the house (it makes my husband vomit). I've found breathing into a hot flannel helps.

I hope you feel better! My son is sick so I've been doing lots of home remedies, so let me know if you need any other advice!
