^ Wish I could give you some simple advice there, CBC.. but I can't. Maybe 'steaming' under a towel above a pan with hot water and some Vicks Vaporub in it might give some relieve. Don't overdo it and if it feels too uncomfortable stop.

Plus for me goes with influenza like ailments, noticing the pre-signs, I start drinking a lot of cold water (more than I already do) and try to up my vitamin C, via citrus fruits, intake.

Um, in line here, as an useful personal trivium.. I drink my bottled water ice cold and squeeze the juice of a lemon (p/m ¼) through it. This almost by default (if I haven't forgot to buy a couple).

Hope you feel a tadski better soon, CBC.

Could they be from a dirty heating system?  While your landlord wouldn't be willing to clean the system out, perhaps you could put some air filters over your registers to filter out the muck.

I get bronchitis every year also

I wonder if it's because the air is usually drier in winter because it's heated, and people spend more time indoors so they spend more time sharing air with sick people.

 Interesting thought, but this latest infection only started when we (finally) had freezing
 weather.  I think it's the cold that does it for the most part.  Also, I feel pretty good at
 home; it's when I'm at my overheated, very dry workplace that I feel really sick.

I would have thought a kitchen wouldn't be dry because of the moisture coming off of the food while it's cooking/reheating.

 The kitchen is indeed less dry than the (overheated IMO) dining room.

I also get strep at least once a year.  I blame it on my wife and kids bringing the germs home from school as I generally work outside or in open areas all by myself and most of the day I am breathing through a HEPA filter

I hate it when I have texture problems

 I must say, I haven't had a strep throat (that I know of) since high school.

My husband used to get those all the time when he was a kid, but not one since we have been married.  His doctor told him that there are a finite number of strains of streptococcus and he must have developed immunity to all of them.

I have never had strep throat.
