I totally understand it's meant to be an event to bring characters together and all but, I still find it a little silly colds and fevers are always depicted this way. Though, I think it's even sillier how the characters so easily seem to get them from everyday things.

You didn't dry your hair after bathing? You caught a cold.
You got wet from the rain? You caught a cold.
You fell asleep at the kotatsu? You caught a cold.
You left the AC on too long? You caught a cold.

Speaking straight facts, I always find it so strange that they treat every illness like the person is on their deathbed. You don't need a full time nurse to help someone who has a fever and is tired, they just need sleep and maybe some meds. Also every character who gets sick seems to have the weakest immune system imaginable. The thing about the cold in manga always bothers me, because being ot getting cold is never the actual cause of an illness.

I don't disagree with what you said about the fever in manga, but it's also a bit untrue, some fever can be that bad, that even moving would hurt your body all over, i caught that type of fever twice in my life so far, it feels genuinely horrible when it does happen

I wouldn't be surprised if a gag manga showed up taking this to the extreme. As in

A drop of water fell on you? You caught a cold.
Someone looks at you the wrong way? You caught a cold.

She stays home to take care of you while you're sick. Is she into you? You really can't tell.

Yes I agree some fevers can be terrible, but if it is that bad the best thing to do is see a doctor, in manga characters get deathly ill but then never go to the doctor. Now, I guess you can just do as they do in manga, and sleep it off with off the shelf meds, but if I knew someone who got as ill as any of these characters I would recommend they at least visit a walk in clinic at the very least.

She is not fit to be a nurse. If she falls asleep in middle of work like that 😂

I'm more annoyed that apparently so many people in the world still think that you get sick from being wet or slightly cold. Maybe they missed the memo that Louis Pasteur disproved abiogenesis 175 years ago. Bacteria and viruses don't just appear in your body because you got chilly.

Tokimori would be a great nurse, because I'm pretty sure I've read enough hentai to know that a good nurse sleeps with her patient.

What i don't get is how they can be deathly ill and yet 1 day of bedrest and they are fine. If you are that sick, you are sick for a while.

Yes makes no sense, go to the hospital or see a doctor and get a prescription, don't sleep off a serious health problem. I do wonder if the sickness is actually from mental exhaustion due to anxiety, or going outside of their comfort levels.

Sugawa gets sick after confronting the guy. Then gets better after spending time with Tokimori or like with Sakurai in Uzaki chan. At least to me, it would make sense if the illness was related to mental problems. It also would explain how they are able to heal so quickly, since the sickness is resolved by the love interest spending time with them, thus reinforcing their care/love for the mc or fmc in an indirect way.

Japanese rain strikes again. As soon as it touches you, you immediately get infected with a cold virus. Unless of course you go into a hot shower, because as we all know that counteracts the infection. Also don't forget to sleep with a blanket on, because if you are slightly cold, the viruses get invited and come inside to infect you as well.

Question from someone from a poor country. Do you people from developed countries really go to doctors because of a cold or flu? In my country we rest at home and only go if it doesn't get better after 2 or 3 days, which may indicate a development into pneumonia. In a public hospital you would wait 4 or 5 hours to be seen, in a private hospital at least 2 hours.

from my experience being from the UK no. i've only had a really bad fever once in my life and that was ironically after i got a pneumonia vaccine. i couldn't move my arms and things for a good few days without it hurting like hell and i had a bad fever too. but i didn't go to the doctor and just got better after a few days.
