Boosting your immune system could only make your cold symptoms worse.
This isn't at all surprising. Many of these symptoms are part of the body's efforts at fighting the cold. As long as these symptoms increase the body's effectiveness at fighting the virus, I'd view them as a good thing.
- KiwiNige 16y agoAll that snot and sneezing helps to spread the virus around too. Perhaps some of the most common colds are those that invoke a strong immune response.
- donaldc 16y agoGood point. There are also downsides. Still, in general, I prefer to let my body fight illness as best it knows how, unless it is obviously mis-functioning.
