If it feels good do it! Unless of course it is illegal or immoral (who cares
about fattening). It has been shown that chicken soup actually helps reduce cold
symptoms. And if you feel better drinking a quart of OJ every day, by all means
do it. It will make you urinate more often and it’s high in calories… oops! No
one cares about fattening. Also give red ginseng, echinacea and/or saline a try.
Something that I have found very helpful is to sniff essential oils such as
eucalyptus, camphor, or menthol. And please use soft tissues on that sore nose!
Oh and by the way, Bless you!
