Sorry to hear you're sick, Ax. Sucks to be trapped in a plane with everyone coughing! Hope you're feeling back to 100% soon.

I lose my appetite when I'm sick so if I'm sick enough to stay home, I mostly just lie in bed, watch documentaries, movies, or TV shows, sleep, and try to drink a lot of hot water. The only thing I'll eat is soup, usually crappy Lipton noodle soup that comes in those dry packets and toss in some vegetables since I can't be bothered to make anything fancier and the MSG in it is the only thing that persuades me to eat at all lol. I used to get really bad sore throats every time I got sick so I'd get herbal lozenges and make ginger honey lemon tea but the past few times I've been sick it hasn't been so bad. I also take Benadryl to help me sleep if I have a sore throat or a cough.

I've definitely noticed the cold and flu season is hitting since I've noticed a lot more sick people on public transit and at the office. Think I might be coming down with something too since I've felt super tired and had a headache since the afternoon. I went straight home after work and slept for a few hours until now so not a good sign lol. Just in time for Thanksgiving weekend too here in Canada

In the past I mostly only went to the doctor while sick to get sick notes since certain courses in my university program took attendance which counted for marks. I've also gone for lingering coughs and once for a really bad cough that kept me up at night for a week even with cough medicine. Never been sick enough to go for any other reason, fortunately.
