Best cure for a COLD?

[junior]

Ive just Travelled 4 million miles back from the Falkland Islands and managed to catch some kind of tropical cold that i cant shift.

Anyone got any ideas?

You may have yellow fever,in which case,your dead.

Plenty of clear fluids or fruit juice, vitamin c and regular paracetamol, two tablets every four hours, no more than 8 in a day.

I loved it,but then thats because im interested in the history of the conflict.
If you want a fast paced holiday with booze and nightclubs,then the Falklands is NOT for you.

oh, the cold try warm milk with a teaspoon of honey and a drop of whiskey in it. and it tastes lovely too.

NO!

I was at the same place you are going to work for 10 weeks i guess.
If you want any advice on stuff to take or places to go just ask.

You got a cold? You poof. Get your arse to the Med Centre and get some soluble aspirin, to be gargled four times a day. That, and Brufen in 400mg tablets, is well known to cure ANY illness that you may incur whilst in HM Service. Stop whining, it could be worse. You could be duty weekend as well. Plus side - some of the Nurses are not bad and take your mind off being sick. Bloody malingering.

Falklands - novel place to go. Mount Pleasant Airport is quite civilised these days, as is the Mare Harbour Complex. Just be careful about getting into Landrovers, as they crash on a regular basis. We had one dead, one almost killed, and four badly injured a little while back because a Landie left the road and turned over, bloody things are always doing it because the familiarisation training is not as "thorough" as it could be. ie, MT Sgt says "Can you drive?". If you say yes, you get certified as a Landie driver......

Agreed, anything to burn it out

Prepare about half a case of tissues for yer nose if you try this route though, it could get messy otherwise
