  • What I did was keep an eye on my temperature and cranked my space heater in my bedroom to 80°F(~27C), wore sweats and a hoodie, drank lots of water (with some liquid IV here and there), and slept as much as I could.

    Having a fever is your body adjusting its thermostat to help your immune system work better and being in a warmer environment lets it use less energy to keep up that temperature. Monitoring your temperature will let you know if it gets too high. Water and electrolytes replaces what you sweated/peed out. The increased sleep will help your body to use up even less energy, leaving it all to help your body recover faster.

    I may have only had lighter symptoms which lasted about a week, but this method has helped me get completely over every other cold/flu I’ve gotten within a couple days.
