Pepperup Potion is a potion which relieves the symptoms of colds and flu, although it doesn't seem to actually provide a cure. It has the side-effect of causing steam to come out of the drinker's ears for several hours after it is imbibed.
[edit] History
The potion was invented by Glover Hipworth in the mid-to-late 18th century or early 19th century.
During the winter of the 1992–1993 school year, a spate of colds ran through the student body of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Madam Pomfrey used Pepperup Potion to relieve their symptoms. Ginny Weasley was bullied into taking some by Percy Weasley during this time, although her illness was more to due with her possession by Tom Riddle's Diary than a cold. It was also used after the second task of the Triwizard Tournament on the hostages and champions.
