Question : I woke up today with horrible cold/flu like symptoms. I was fine yesterday and noticed this morning that my face was blowing air conditioned air directly at my face. Could that be the cause.

Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Exposure to air conditioned air whole night followed by cold like symptoms and flu is definitely connected and common sequelae of air conditioned air . No worries, take some home remedies like warm comforting beverages, continue taking day quil, take some ibuprofen with it, salt water gargles and don't lie in front of AC and keep the thermostat to a bit higher temperature preferably 25 degree celsius.

Your symptoms will improve soon and there is nothing to worry about. I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
