1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and clear broths.
2. Rest Up: Your body needs energy to fight off the cold, so get plenty of sleep.
3. Stay Warm: Keep cozy with warm clothes and blankets.
4. Over-the-Counter Relief: Take a visit to your local pharmacy as they can provide help and advice quickly without an appointment. Find one here: https://www.nhsinform.scot/scotlands-service-directory/pharmacies
