The symptoms are what I want fixed, thank you very much.

It would be one thing if we were discussing chronic pain or some such, but colds are generally temporary. A drug that can make the cold more pleasant is exactly what I want.

The better you feel, the more likely you are to get better sleep.

Good, restive, sleep helps your body heal from most anything while the reverse, a lack of sleep, will always wreck your health.

There is zero nobility, or reason, for people to suffer through a cold.

Psuedoephedrine is super disruptive to sleep. Its a pretty strong cns stimulant. In fact if you have low tolerance you can get pretty zooted off it.
Yes, but if people treat the symptoms then carry on with their normal life, they risk spreading the virus to everyone else. Those "Soldier on with Codral" ads were really messed up.
