Any tips on how to get rid of a long lasting cold!? I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point. Going on 2 weeks. Not COVID. Deep cough and congestion.

Have you been to the doctor at all? I think that might be in order if it's been 2 weeks with a deep cough tbh

Have you tried using nasal spray? That works for me. It clears my nasal congestion.

Heat kills a virus. Take a hot bath, as hot as you can stand it, really, as hot as possible. While you are in the bath, drink a hot beverage. The best would be homemade bone broth, but it could be tea, or even just hot water. The goal is to induce an artificial fever. Do this right before bed. Stay in the tub as long as you can stand it, 20 minutes if you can make it. When you get out of the tub, stay as warm as possible, and go to bed immediately, covered in as many blankets as you can stand. Stay under the blankets until you fall asleep. If you can get your body heat high enough, you will kill the virus and feel great when you wake up the next day.

This is my routine when I get a cold.

Drink a large amount of orange juice.

Take a very hot shower.

Put on warm pants, socks, and a sweater.

Go to bed under a warm comforter or several blankets.

I always wake up feeling like a new man.

Sweat it out. Not sure why, but it works for me every time. I put on multiple layers. Beanie, t-shirt, shorts, and thick socks. Then a thick hoodie and sweatpants. Then a heavy winter coat also with a hood. Crank up the heat. Then a heavy blanket. Wrap myself up like a burrito.

Get a NeilMed sinus rinse bottle and use it twice a day. This was actually prescribed to me by a doctor because I was getting frequent sinus infections. Not only did it knock those out in a few days (when it typically took me 2-3 weeks to fully recover from them naturally), it also has kept me from developing colds when I first feel the symptoms, or drastically shortened them.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs.

It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
