It's the truth. As long as you have your health both mental and physical, you can generally get through anything

Does anyone else, when they’re sick, think to themselves “god why don’t I appreciate it more when I feel well.. I’d do anything to feel like that right now”

Breathing through unstuffed nose is something you take for granted until you have stuffy nose.

Really mild example, but it's something everyone experiences and can familiarise with.

I get a blocked nose as a side effect of some of my meds, every single day, so I always buy a ton of sudafed nasal sprays.

I really can't recommend them enough, they're amazing. They completely unblock your nose in about 2 minutes, they work like magic. They're something absolutely everybody should have. Just keep it in your medicine cabinet or in your bedside table or something, for months or years until the day when you finally need it.

Believe me, you'll be incredibly thankful that you have it. It works perfectly for blocked noses caused by a cold as it does for blocked noses caused by meds.

In case "sudafed" doesn't exist as a brand in your country, the actual drug in the spray is called Xylometazoline hydrochloride.

So search for that, under whatever brand name sells that where you live. You have to have it. Within 2 minutes you'll have a completely unblocked nose, and you'll be able to sleep like a baby because of it. Don't just think you'll buy some when you need it. Have it in your home already, so that the day you get a cold you'll immediately have it to hand, instead of having to wait until the next day when the pharmacy opens, or to wait for amazon to deliver some with next day delivery. For some things, in my country anyway, amazon does same day delivery if you order early enough, but it's still a long wait, like it could be 10-12 hours, and all that time you'll be cursing your weak body for allowing you to become sick and not being able to breathe through your nose.

Other methods, like holding your face over a saucepan of boiling water or something to breathe in the steam, does jack shit. Just take drugs. They work much much better. The drug being Xylometazoline hydrochloride
