Why does anime never have medicine? They suggest sticking leeks

Japanese colds, m8, you can't treat them through conventionnal ways (if they can ever be treated)

Maybe I'm wrong but the anti-drugs policy is so extreme that common cold medicine is banned.
It was something related with codeine I believe.

They aren't so dumb as to lap up Big Pharma's lies and piss.

Because leeks up the butt are funnier than ingesting tablets.

It's not like cold medicine does much anyway.

because where would the comedy be if characters suggested modern, common-sense cold treatments instead of silly folk remedies or other outlandish things

What are you talking about? Standard anime trope is rice porridge and pills whenever someone has a cold. Then you have to wipe away their sweat and put a cold towel on their forehead.

>taking medicine for colds
You're literally killing your body's immune system. Fevers, snot and coughing are how your body gets rid of bacteria and viruses. Rest and nutritious yet easily digested food is the way to deal with colds.
