Applying vapour rub, drinking honey and lemon, and wearing multiple layers of clothing are some of the top remedies Brits' turn to to tackle the symptoms of a cold, research has found.
Taking extra vitamins also ranked highly on the nation's favourite remedies to ward off colds, according to almost half (48%) of 2,000 adults polled – with one in three taking Vitamin D to try and stay healthy.
And half of those who feel under the weather try to get seven to eight hours sleep a night, while three in 10 (31%) believe in the old adage, “feed a cold, starve a fever”.
