No cure so you gotta rest. Nose is stuffed so you gotta mouth breathe. Throat is dry from mouth breathing. Dry throat makes it painful to swallow. Pain keeps you from sleeping and recovering. Lack of sleep leads to worse symptoms like piercing headaches. Need to rest to get rid of the headaches. Headache and swallowing is too painful to rest properly. Lack of rest perpetuates headaches, nose congestion, dry throat, painful swallowing.
What is this BS
Eating a toe of raw garlic is about the only real remedy. Because it’s slime covers the throat and some ingredients suport the body in defending. Lime blossom (? Lindenblüten) tea has a similiar effect but less potent and accelerates the metabolism (i.e. you get hot) instead.
I’ve heard garlic has anti bacterial properties, does this actually work? I’ll eat a whole bulb of garlic, I don’t care.
For me, it does. It’s a case of woah and then i’ve read up the why. But really chew it good (nose will instantly get free too) and bite through it.
But still, it’s only suporting; mileage may vary. And too much will get you an upset stomach.

Found that quickly and even though it says the results may not be significant, I’m willing to eat a couple cloves of garlic with dinner. I’ll let you know how I feel tomorrow morning.
Bettee before bed, no?
I have no idea, is that what you do or recommend?
