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.

    Simple:

    1. Drink water
    2. I Clear the snot in the wash basin every 30 minutes
    3. I Don’t drink the snot that comes in backwards from your my nose, no matter how lazy you are I am feeling
      • spit it out in the wash basin
      • this way you I don’t get cough
    4. I don’t take paracetamol or symptomatic relief medicine, instead keep 2-3 handkerchiefs to keep it clean
    5. Sinuses blocked and blowing nose is not enough, there is a medicine for it. But if you can, try some mace and nutmeg powder instead.
    6. Fever? Yes. I Sleep with it.
      • Feeling weak, I take some ORS (the one with sugar in it)

    And the most important part, don’t go around coughing/snorting it at other people.

    Sinuses blocked

    There’s 2 types of medicines for this.
    1 will dry up your nose, essentially stopping the exit of pathogens via that vector. The other will convert blocked-nose to running nose.
    The 2nd one is desirable, if you want it to actually get fixed. Of course, you will need to clean your nose more often, as a result.
