NeoCitran!!! It is the European (and Canadian, also, I think not British, though, bscauee they have LemSip over there and it is vile and completely ineffectual) original version of thera-flu, except it both tastes nice and actually works (not to mention it will knock you right out, so it's perfect for getting a good night of sleep). I buy a big box every time I am in Europe and usually have to take some of it, too, since I almost always get sick when I'm travelling. It's amazing magical stuff, and I would send you some if I wasn't afraid there was probably some kind of weird law against it that would end up with the FBI at my door or something, but if you have a chance to pick some up during a trip or something you definitely should.
