A serious question...

You know how when you feel the flu coming on your head seems "blocked" but it's a permanent headache?

and how it's not your throat but the sort of the end of your mouth/start of your throat that is sore /itchy?

here's my question.
do you agree that softdrink stops the itch?

Normaly i can't stomach softdrink.. far to harsh on my belley.. but when the flu's coming.. it goes down only too well.. that and OJ.

I'd go for tea or hot

I'd go for tea or hot lemonade, personally.

Soft drinks (well, mainly 7up and ginger ale) are better for an upset stomach.

I like to pour half orange juice and half ginger ale into a glass and drink that. (Once when I didn't have ginger ale I used Sprite.) Also pectin drops (I hate menthol stuff, I think tastes horrible).

Those sort of help with sore throats and things when I have a cold. I haven't had the flu in quite a while, so I couldn't say for sure about that.
