I think that you should leave on the side the possible worsening of T from the more movement of the infected mucus, let the solving of the problem in the care of your ENT and immune system, and move freely so you do not slip into a worse depression, improve blood circulation, save your social/normal life, which are also important in the healing process. Get out with your friends and do not stay inside in an upright position to listen to your T, cause this definitely will make you worse.
