By now, you’re a seasoned flu veteran. You’ve mastered the art of groaning in multiple octaves. The fever might start to break, but don’t throw a party yet—your sinuses and cough are taking over. This is when you’ll wonder if your nose is a leaky faucet or a secret weapon. (Pro tip: stock up on tissues. Invest in the fancy ones with lotion. Your nose will send you a thank-you card.)
