I came down with a nasty cold, dry cough and a headache last Tuesday. Had to spend most of the day resting in bed.
Here in Japan, people wear a mask when they have a cold. This is to prevent spreading the germs to others. Quite a good reason to wear one...but not a comfortable one indeed. You have a runny nose and wearing a mask, imagine what happens. Also, you breathe out and breathe in the same hot air all the time.
I don't like wearing a mask when I have a cold, but I have to. Or else I get glares from people around me whenever I sneeze or even when I just exhale. Masks make my cold worse, really!
