Reading through your post,I see series of medical care that you dropped, that is why I always said that steemit platform is an educative platform,no matter what.

Symptoms persist for more than 10 days
Sudden worsening after initial improvement
Home care for viral colds
Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water
Using saline nasal spray
Honey (for cough relief)
Pain relievers (such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen".
I really appreciate you sir, infact I will gather my family to teach about this because we are right now facing cold weather in my location, disease have attacking us here and there, different unhealthy experiences, some people don't even have money to care for themselves.
Last week I have spent some money for charity work in my community for the old age people because of cold effects in the area, they have suffered from coughing,my support to them have make them feels good now, and i still need to carry another medical support in one interior village but it will cost me much,but am planning for it soon.
