You can usually treat a cold or flu at home without seeing a GP. Here are some things you can do to help you get better more quickly:

✅ DO:
Get plenty of rest. Take paracetamol or ibuprofen to lower your temperature. Drink a hot lemon and honey drink to soothe a sore throat. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

❌ DON'T:
Give aspirin to children under the age of 16. Smoke as this can make your symptoms worse. Give honey to babies under 12 months.

💙 Mouth Cancer Awareness Month – November 2025

Every year, thousands of people are diagnosed with mouth cancer. Spotting the symptoms early can save lives. 🕵️

✨ Signs to look out for include:
👄 Mouth ulcers that don’t heal within 3 weeks
🦷 A lump or swelling inside the mouth, jaw, or neck
👅 Red or white patches in the mouth or on the tongue
🗣️ Difficulty swallowing or persistent hoarseness
😣 Pain, numbness, or loose teeth without clear reason

If you notice anything unusual, don’t ignore it — see your dentist or GP. Early diagnosis makes treatment more effective.
