#colds — Public Fediverse posts

🤔 Last night there was a knock at our door 🚪 and as my husband began to open it I said, "We are ill, you forgot to wear your mask😷 , please put one on first".
The PSW🧍‍♂️ said to him, "You don't need to wear a mask"

'Today I placed a sign on our door:
"Don't wear a Mask"
'When we are ill and wear a mask we are saying we care about the wellbeing of our friends, family, coworkers and community'

Six years and I'm exhausted

😞 😖 🤒 😷

Damn it

wear a mask.😷

Edit: By Now We Should know it's like pregnancy--both parties must cover themselves to achieve 100% protection!

I'm too old to be catching your viruses every few months thank you very much.

Here’s why we don’t have a cold #vaccine. Yet.
Technically, #colds are #infections that affect your nose and throat, causing symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and generally feeling like garbage. Unlike some other infections they aren’t defined by the specific #virus that causes them. That’s because there are a lot of viruses that cause colds, including #rhinoviruses, #adenoviruses, and even seasonal #coronaviruses

One of these days I am gonna be brave enough to print on one of my masks "I hate being sick more than I hate wearing a mask"

A mask is not just for covid. I really really hate having a cold.

Vitamin D reduces incidence and duration of colds in those with low levels

STAYC girls are going down and so am I, but, unfortunately, with a bad cold.

This performance video is fun and I will enjoy it while...

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.

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

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 -

And as always: Mask Up!

Had enough of being ill, it was a rare change of pace but I’m over it now #colds #sorethroat #cough

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

@giflian It's pretty cool that we finally have some idea why winter is the time when things flare up.

A great article from Vox. Shows why it seems in Indiana every is sick right now

#MAJOR #Science #Discovery: We finally know why people get more #colds & flus when it’s chilly outside. It’s all about the schnoz. Basically, the cold kills 50% of the billions of #virus & #bacteria fighting cells in the #nose. The strength of our #ImmuneSystems are at the crux of issues like #COVID & this discovery has all sorts of implications. You’ll also never have to hear “put on a coat or you’ll catch a cold” again. BUT you’ll hear “put on a #mask” for warmth🤣 https://bayareane.ws/3P4O12e

So it turns out I should read the directions on medicine more carefully. A dose every 6 hours and a dose every 4 are very different things. On the plus side I slept great.
