Oh, and snort Otrivin for the runny nose - $2.50, in our experience only around half the chemists stock it, but most will run next door if they need to.

The pseudoephedrine in the Cold tabs should stop the runny nose. Unless he goes jogging in the evening.

The main thing is he's got to maintain the fluid intake, which I'm sure he's doing.
