I am going on holiday in 3 days and of course my body decided a couple days ago to catch a cold…right before my long awaited holiday!!

Any tips on how to get rid of it asap? Speed up the recovery somehow?

I have flu/cold medicine with paracetamol, caffeine and phenylephrine hydrochloride, however I have stopped taking it after 2 doses (of two capsules each) so I can allow my body to do what it needs with no obstruction before I go away…

I am resting (sleeping until I feel rested. I have free days before the holiday so can sleep as much as I need), eating light meals, plenty of drinks and soothers for the dry/sore throat

Does taking medicine to relieve symptoms prolong the actual healing process? Or am I suffering for no reason right now?

Please, any help is appreciated, I’m desperate here 🙏🙏

    Yeah im hoping it at least heals to a point where it’s not bothering me

    I noticed my symptoms gradually start about 3 days ago
