I don’t mean to be a downer, but if you could have caught a cold, what makes you think you couldn’t have caught covid?

Paracetamol as well

Dayquil and lots of hot tea with lemon. Nyquil before going to bed. Wake up good as new.

Airborne; almost can always get rid of colds
if I take it as soon as I feel that throat tingle

I’d drink vitamin C powder, Gatorade (I can’t drink a lot of water), and sleep early. I’d also refrain from alcohol, going out/meeting friends (increases risk of germs), and getting cold (I know it’s not directly related but I swear if I get cold, I am more likely to get sick)

Hot water steam

Sambucol! Just finished getting over one. Always helps.

I think sleep is the biggest factor bc that’s when your body heals. I would personally take a multivitamin, Zquil, and knock out.

Huberman Lab podcast has an episode on immunity a breathing exercise that can help prevent sickness if you do it early. Really cool. Give it a shot it’s free.

Zicam!! Helps me every time but you need to get it right away

Have you tried Garglma?

Tylenol, Mucinex, ginger tea with lemons

Coldeze!

Theraflu. Nice, hot, and will help you sleep and get rid of symptoms. Take it before you go to bed. Helps every time.

Bourbon 🥃 neat with lots of water

Not the results I was hoping for this morning. Went for my first appointment before starting injections this evening. Only 9 follicles. Was told birth control can suppress some so they may just not be visible yet but feeling very panicked now despite the doctor saying it was ok for my age.
