Now that I’m ( hopefully) finally at the tail end of a crappy cold, I can recommend Kurols cough lozenges to suppress a tickly throat.
They taste vile, and I suspect the taste must be similar to licking Vicks vapour rub off a tar-seal road, but they do work.

When I catch a cold, I will most likely also end up with a raging, painful sinus infection that only a 10-day course of antibiotics will kick. Even then, I might relapse & end up sick for a total of 6 weeks.
It's a BUMMER.
#DeviatedSeptum doesn't help.
So I'm always curious about preventatives, hence my question about #ProvidoneIodine #NasalSpray.

Please boost! 
Anybody know anything about povidone iodine nasal spray as a treatment for #ChronicSinustitis?
Asking for a me. 
My chronic sinusitis mainly manifests as constant slight congestion & post-nasal drip. 9 times out of 10 when I catch a cold, the increased fluid build-up makes me susceptible to a bacterial infection....

In an online survey of 500 people, nearly 67% of parents with preschool children said they believe antibiotics can fight viruses, while roughly 56% said they can cure a cold. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/29/japan/science-health/japan-antibiotics-colds/?utm_content=bufferde79d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #sciencehealth #antibiotics #colds #medicine #health

Wearing #FFP3 #masks is my way of caring and showing #respect for myself and others. I‘ll carry on with that. 
To date, I have not had #Covid-19, #Influenza or #Colds since the start of the #Pandemic (but I am also #Vaccinated several times w/ #BionNTech and get my annual influenza jab on time).
Are you dealing with sick young kids right now? They just did a great advice show on Brian Lehrer / WNYC talking about home remedies, medicine shortages all over the city and substitutes you can try, and more. Definitely worth a listen, lots of callers giving excellent advice -
It turns out the cold air itself damages the immune response occurring in the nose
Umm maybe in winter keep your nose warm, with mask or a scarf perhaps, maybe, prolly is a good idea
