Part of maturing as someone who insists on solutions when confronted with complaints from others is acknowledging that those complaints aren’t necessarily put out there to be solved, and sometimes they just want to let you know they’re unhappy to lower the expectations of them for a while or to vent. If all they want is to be left alone or vent, insisting on solutions is akin to criticism when they need it the least.

Sounds more like you get annoying when he’s sick.
I would not want to stay in bed drinking tea with an icepack when I’m sick, and it would frustrate me to be hassled about it when I’m sick.
Maybe just leave him be instead of getting frustrated with non-existent problems that YOU are creating in your head.

First thing: this is mildly infuriating. Not frustrating!
And i mean i am annoying. And i dont even need him and me to be sick to be annoying
I dont really keep him from going on his PC and drinking softdrinks, but i ask him often about how hes feeling and if its still bad i then “poke” the topics of resting or tea or something else that might ease the symptoms
About the Icepack: he likes them but is too lazy to get them himself…
Sorry if that seems to defensive/attacking to you as your message seemed very hyperbolic/pessimistic
What i posted is really not that strongly meant as you might have interpreted it
