Comment on Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?

  For me, it does. It’s a case of woah and then read up the why. But really chew it good (nose will instantly get free too) and bite through it.

  But still, it’s only suporting. And too much will get you sn upset stomach.

    Found that quickly and even though it says the results may not be significant, I’m willing to eat a couple cloves of garlic with dinner. I’ll let you know how I feel tomorrow morning.

        Morning update: Had 1 clove with dinner. Throat was still sore when I was going to bed but much better when I woke up. Although without a control group, I don’t know how much recovery to attribute to the garlic. But I do feel better!

    Ugh I hope it isn’t covid. I don’t have time for that. My throat doesn’t hurt when I drink or eat, it’s just painful when I’m trying to sleep because it gets so dry. The headache lasted about 4 days but I’ve had a few episodes of cluster headaches in the past that felt the same. Same spot on my head and frequency so I wrote it off as stress and lack of sleep triggering it. Almost no sneezing, mild cough with clear mucus. Night sweats the last couple days but it’s been 6 days already so hopefully I’ve gotten through most of it. I think you’re right though, it seems worse than just a cold.
