Is it possible to sleep off a cold/virus?

[k80pie]

I’ve just recovered from Covid and after a few days of finally feeling better I’ve come down with something else - temp, sore throat, body aches. Just wondering if I’m prolonging the inevitable by staying in bed for the last two days, or if I should just get up and get on with things and then face the consequences if I get worse?

Do you have to get up?
Can you stay in bed?

My DH is looking after both kids under six and struggling so yes I feel like I shouldn’t really be in bed…hence wondering if there is any chance that resting will stop the virus developing further…

I'd stay in bed you will only feel worse if you get up and try get on with things you need rest and plenty of water

Yeah I agree you need rest, same things happened with me xx
