 [ Symptoms ] i had a throat infection for a week and feel a lot better now will going to swimming pool tomorrow make me more sick  i have been taking antibiotics for a week i had fever and felt really tired but now i feel like i have fully recovered [ Disease ] hi i think your find it takes 3 days for a cold to break out but try killing it try some cheese and onion sandwiches chuck some extra power slice some garlic into it even if the cold breaks just carry on one for breakfast one at lunch and the last one 30 minutes before bed i will tell you now nobody will love you you will be breathing onion and garlic fumes for both ends but a great way to get rid of a cold they say feed a cold and starve a fever hope it works good luck
