I had sniffles for two days.

I placed myself on a low-carbohydrate diet to reduce my gut bacterial load to enable my immune system to better fight my mild viral infection.

I also brushed and flossed my teeth well and used mouthwash to reduce my mouth bacterial load.

Not force-feeding the fuel for microbe reproduction (simple sugars) has always worked for me. Not even honey or any supposed acceptable carbohydrate. Zero carbs.
