Feed a cold- Starve a fever- Hows the diet going?

Problem with a cold is not just the runny nose- or the blocked nose. It is that chesty feeling that stops you wanting to exert yourself. Then there is the headache- but that is probably the after effects of the medicinal Cognac that was over imbibed.

Woke up the morning of a big ride with a Flu type feeling. Only medicine I could find was a cold medicine for blocked nosed called Mucron. Took one every 4 hours and it worked. Next day the cold hit and I was like death warmed up.
I still take mucron before a hard ride because it does clear the tubes a bit and gives me a start to the ride. Don't know whats in it but It is one of the banned substances for Athletes.
