Getting sick

I don't know if this is scientifically possible, but I've come to notice that during this time of the year is when I usually fall ill. At first I didn't really notice it but after I almost lost my life the year 2020 due to some very deadly sickness that almost made me unable to even get up to go use the bathroom, I started to take note whenever I fall ill.

And since 2020 till, I've seriously fallen ill twice, October 2021 and October 2022. I guess this adds up to one of the reasons why I hate the Ember month. But luckily for me, unlike that of 2020, I can walk and do some few things. The fever isn't really in full effect yet. The only terrible thing I'm passing through right now is a cough that looks like it's after my life.

And due to the way I cough often, I now experience headaches every now and then (because of how violently I move my head when I cough) accompanied with catarrh. I have taken some drugs for the illness but it just seems like everytime I think it's going away, it returns back stronger than it was before. Its either the drugs I'm taking are fake or they're just not strong enough.

Everyone around me has advised me to stop taking cough syrups and go for the tablet drugs instead which I really don't want to for obvious reasons. Why do they have to make tablet drugs taste like death itself.

Why can't the tablet guys just employ the guys in charge of making the syrup so that they can make the tablet and make them taste nice too. I've always hated drugs ever since I was a kid to the extent where even thinking about taking drugs makes me want to throw up and it's for one reason, the taste. Sometimes when I take drugs, I try to avoid it touching my tongue and just fly into my throat but I've never really been successful at doing that so everytime I take a drug, I end up souring my mouth, which is one thing I'm definitely not ready for. So I'm just going to focus on the syrup and if this one doesn't work, I will get another syrup until I get better.
