I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

Juice of two lemons
In a glass of hot water
Will fix it right up
(It really works. Makes for a miserable, sweaty night, but tends to break the fever. I hope she feels well soon.)
The pith in citrus fruits is good for flu as well as the citrus. Cut the lemon into quarters and bring it to boil with a tablespoon full of sugar (or honey if you prefer) until it melts. Strain off and keep refrigerated in a jug. Heat up a cupful in the microwave when the illness feels worse (but brush the teeth after). No cure but helps you feel better. Handed down from generations and works well

I concur! That’s my grandmother’s recipe with a teaspoon of honey. It always helped.

Oh, poor dear! I hope she feels better soon. Ice packs wrapped in towel work for my hot flashes. She can hold it like a teddy bear. I do.
