yes stop playing. it’s very uncomfortable and I agree that it will prolong your sickness.
the only time I forced myself through a time like that is when I had to do the gig and so had no choice but to play through it. If you’re just at home practicing there’s no reason to prolong the suffering!
thanks Johnny – i’ll wait until my nose has stopped dripping, and resume when it’s starting to dry up. I don’t mind playing and occasionally blowing my nose, but not playing and blowing my nose every few seconds. Just very frustrating not being able to practice.
3 weeks later just starting to get rid of the cold. So not been able to play the sax much as my cold developed into sinusitis later on, which rarely happens. Fine start to 2020! The whole of january wasted.
so trying out a product recommended by a pro sax player that swears by it for keeping him cold free, as he plays lots of gigs.
