Well done, you're right!

FACT: "Time is the only cure for a cold or the flu"

Colds and flu are caused by viruses and as such can't be cured, only the symptoms relieved. Sneezing and coughing, for example, are part of the body's defence mechanism; they are a quick way of washing out dead cells from the nose and throat which have been attacked by the virus. But that doesn't mean you can't relieve their worst effects; this is where self-care and self-medication can play a role. Your body will still go on fighting the virus just as effectively and you will shorten the time you may be 'out of action' from your normal routine. Rest if you can as this will also help.
