Lemsip Cold & Flu Original

I can't even drink this to know whether or not it works because the taste is so bad! It's so awfully sweet that it's hard to stomach. I have a pretty major sweet tooth and even I find this way too sweet to the point of it being undrinkable. Will try diluting it but I'm guessing the effect would be much less if diluted. Might be best to try something else instead of this.

I’m into my second box in less than a week and it’s helped me go to work, get to sleep and be more comfortable whilst travelling for work these past few days! It soothes my throat, head and seems to calm the swollen runny nose throat thing. I have not needed to use it every four hours usually only but do use it as required and it definitely helps decrease the pain and reduce symptoms. It also seems to work quickly for me and takes away my dull cold headache. It tastes fine!

I persisted for 3 uses. Tastes okay if it's really hot but on cooling just a little bit it tastes like a paracetamol tablet in hot water. Didn't have any effect. I've now moved on to effective medications.
