Others Sering sakit flu. Need advice

I hope this is the right place to ask because I’m at my wits end.

Gw sebulan pasti ada aja sick leave. I feel baf for my workplace

Dari kecil memang gampang sakit kena flu, kayaknya bbrp bulan sekali pasti ada flu, berlanjut sampe covid I really didnt get sick until I contracted covid. Terus it got worse since then. I graduated uni and found a full time job. I had to take a leave every month because of flu. I quit my job and entered a more stressful one. At this point idk what to do because I have tried:

  1. Gym 2-3x a week (mainly weightlifting)
  2. I take enervon C, vitamin D + K 10.000 IU because I heard it’s better for absorption
  3. Vaksin flu this year (I don’t feel like it’s doing anything)
  4. I try to keep up with wearing mask and washing my hands as much as possible now
  5. I eat healthily (protein + carbs + greens combo for every meal)
  6. I dont think I have tonsils/amandel since I have been to countless doctors and no one has advised on getting it removed

If it’s relevant, I get around 5-7 hours of sleep daily and work around 60-80 hours per week (Q4 craziness)

Sekarang udah hampir mau dua minggu flu. Pertama demam, terus sick leave sehari. Minggu depannya demam lagi, sick leave lagi. I figured it was because I didn’t rest properly so I tried to do as little work as possible and completely dedicated my weekends to resting. I’m still coughing phlegm and suffering a low grade fever rn

I can’t keep taking leaves because I’m sick. It also makes me feel bad because I don’t look like I’m taking care of my health. I’m bundled up with a thick jacket in my office and drink warm water all the time. Help

Ini pengalaman pribadi, jadi bisa cocok, bisa tidak, intinya bernafas lewat hidung, tarik dan hembuskan lewat hidung, terutama saat tidur, kalau aku pakai plester kertas untuk plester kasa/medic yang lebar kecil saja, sekarang banyak yang jual plester khusus untuk mulut, dipasang ditengah mulut, antara bibir atas dan bawah, aku lihat tutorialnya dari Pak Gobind Vashdev. Aku sudah lakukan sekitar 2 tahun ini, badan terasa lebih segar, jarang flu, bonusnya, jadi tidak mengorok karena mulut terplester, kalau ngorok pun suaranya minimal.

Coba dulu, tidur siang pakai plester, minta orang rumah awasi, kalau dulu aku langsung terbiasa setelah 2 hari.

I don’t know how this would help me because I’m not a mouth breather, but thanks for your input
