It's a cold,but due to my Multiple Sclerosis medication it's hitting me like it's on steroids.
It's hard to sleep, my stomach is iffy and my nose won't stop.
I have no idea how I got it. I have kept away from people. And I wear a mask to go out the door.
Not much for me to do about it. How long does a cold last regularly?

Gargle with very diluted peroxide to help with post nasal drip.
Ibuprofen or something for fever and aches and pains.
Mint tea.
