This month, we asked readers from around the world, “What’s the best thing to do when you’ve got a cold?” Here are some of their answers: €Jean from France: ‘You should drink lots of water and get lots of sleep. Nothing else helps.’ Mary from Scotland: ‘You should drink herbal tea with honey and lemon in it and you should relax. You shouldn’t go to work.’ €Doug from the USA: ‘That’s easy. You should have a bowl of my grandmother’s chicken soup. That’s the perfect cure. I don’t care what anybody says – there’s nothing better.’ Ana-Maria from Spain: ‘You should eat fruit, lots of it, especially things like oranges.’ €Sam from South Africa: ‘No medicine – you shouldn’t take antibiotics for a cold – that’s crazy. Your body can fight the cold virus.’ Sun-Do from Korea: ‘We eat kimchi – a dish made from cabbage. You should try it. The cabbage is full of vitamin C and the spices in kimchi also help.’
