Here's another infection update.
The COVID painkillers are wearing off more.
I've had to dealing to stronger coughs these past 24 hours. Finally starting to feel some mucus and "smell" the mucus. Also, the virus quietly might have have weakened my blood vessels in my nasal tissue, as gently blowing out the nose wound up blowing out some blood. My right nose was cauterized maybe 15 years ago but my left was okay. The blood came out each of them separate times, but just once; I haven't bled once or needed to blow out my nose since.
This is probably a good sign, as the presence of sensation means the virus is further dwindling.
But once again, my productivity has taken a hit as now the coughs are not as mild as they were when I first got my energy back and I can feel more sensation than before.
The virus once again contrasts with the flu. With the flu, when I'm coughing out near the end, the mucus shoots out of my throat and lungs into the mouth in a discrete thick piece(nasty, I know). Not so here. The pain of the flu cough is also much more pronounced and the spats more brutal. Nothing has come out in such a manner so far with COVID.
I also don't ever cough while sleeping.
Also, this virus might have an immune suppression effect. I had a dental problem before the virus where my right wisdom tooth area was swollen. It did not go away during the entire COVID spat and I could tell it swollen with my tongue, but it didn't give a swollen sensation because the virus suppressed. It has finally been shrinking down and feeling more and more normal.
