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
its worst if you allergies , or ashtma. humans are somewhat brachycephalic, so we are prone to breathing issues, or nasal disruptions. you know dogs with this type of conditions have a whole host of breathing and other issues.
getting flu and covid, rsv, or another viral infection is much worst than a cold.
are you sure this isnt covid, the current one causes severe sore throat, and painful swallowing. i just went through nimbus variant like 2 weeks ago and this what it caused. cold almost never causes this.
it sounds more like COVID.
