Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds? - Lemmy.World

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

Pump ur body with vitamins and lean protein it gives ur body all the components it needs to fight as effectively as possible. U will be on the mend in less than a day. Or maybe I’m just weird.

Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, I’ve seen the nicotine/covid studies too.

It's for the first half. There's no objective evidence this approach works. The OP may also recover from colds quickly without the vitamin / protein intervention, may judge
symptoms differently, or may not accurately track results (e.g. dismiss cases where the opposite was true).
