i catched a cold #commoncold #sick #creature #plushies

Some kind of infection seems to be tearing through the population in my general area. It's a sinus thing that comes with a very scratchy throat. It's not the flu and it doesn't seem to come with a fever, but it's annoying.

Guess I'll be living on hot chicken soup with a squirt of lemon juice and hot tea with honey for a while!

I am the king of the common cold – and I can tell you how to avoid one

No one suffers a cold like I do. Drops and brandy don’t touch the sides – but thanks to a friendly singer, I’ve learned a more extreme regime for countering the snuffles, writes Adrian Chiles

That bug that I brought home for the office kept my immune system busy from Saturday on; Sunday and Monday sufficiently busy that I had to skip cycling. Today I felt much better but I decided to take it easy; 57km (35 miles) in a bit more than two hours. I came home a bit late, only to discover that my spouse now started an immune system workout. I really miss WFH, when not falling ill was so normal.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Allergy Nasal Spray Kills Cold and CoVid Viruses Azelastine nasal spray, marketed as Astepro but also available as a generic, can reduce your chances of developing a CoVid infection by a factor of 3 and cut your chances of developing a common cold by a factor of 3.5. German researchers at Saarland University recently published their double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 450 participants in the JAMA Internal Medicine Journal. Half the subjects received azelastine 0.1% nasal spray three times a day for 56 days. The control subjects used a similarly-appearing but inactive nasal spray. Respiratory infections were confirmed using PCR analyses. The results showed that only 2.2% of the azelestine sprayers developed CoVid compared with 6.7% of controls. Only 1.8% of azelestine sprayers developed rhinovirus infections compared with 6.3% of controls. Generic azelastine spray is a prescription medication. Astepro Spray, the same medication, is available over-the-counter. If you think you might benefit, give it a try. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2838335 #azelastine #astepro #allergy #CoVid #rhinovirus #commoncold"

Azelastine nasal spray, a prescription medication, has been found to reduce the risk of developing CoVid and common cold by a factor of 3. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, conducted by researchers at Saarland University, found that participants who used the nasal spray had a significantly lower risk of developing respiratory infections compared to those who did not use the spray.
