I caught a hell of a cold two weeks ago and it seems to have passed except for this Niagara Falls tier runny nose. I’ve succumbed to desperation and have just been walking around with a nose tampon. Lemmy, how do you treat your runny nose??

Spicy food, in soup form if you can get it. Pho or Taiwanese hot pot are my #1 go to.

A spoon of hot horseradish or wasabi work too.

Pho is my go to if I'm getting over being sick. I did that once and asked them to make it hurt, then requested chili oil at the table. Had two waiters watching me eat in wonder but felt so much better when I finished. Cleared everything out.
