This is a single-panel relatable meme showing a close-up shot of a person holding their visibly bright red, exaggeratedly inflamed throat with both hands. Overlaid text reads "POV: That one swallow that confirms you're getting the flu tomorrow", which references the common universal experience of feeling a specific painful, abnormal swallow that many people recognize as the first clear sign of an oncoming cold or flu illness. The unnaturally red coloring of the throat is used to emphasize the level of pain and the certainty of impending sickness for humorous, relatable effect.

This is a relatable meme featuring the humanoid robot character Sonny from the 2004 film *I, Robot*. The robot has a blank, stiff, slightly dazed neutral expression staring straight ahead, with overlaid text at the top of the image that reads 'The Face I make when I wake up and it hurts to swallow'. The humor comes from comparing the robot's unnatural, numb, stiff facial appearance to the uncomfortable, pained, groggy feeling people have when they wake up with a sore throat, a common symptom of colds, flu, or seasonal allergies that makes swallowing painful.

This meme uses a translucent blue outline of a human head and upper body to visually map common symptoms of being sick, with a representative image assigned to each body area: the forehead has an exploding house with a Windows error pop-up representing brain fog and a malfunctioning overwhelmed brain when sick; the left ear has a large ringing bell representing muffled hearing or congestion-related ringing/tinnitus; one eye is on fire to represent burning itchy sore eyes, while the other is bloodshot to represent irritated red eyes; the nose has a waterfall (for constant runny nose) next to a concrete dam (for blocked congested nose); the mouth/chin area uses cracked dry desert earth to represent severe dry mouth and dehydration from illness; the throat uses barbed wire to represent a scratchy painful sore throat; the right side has a YouTube thumbnail for a 1 hour loop of earrape sound effects to represent the constant loud ringing, muffled noise and hearing issues that come with sickness. It is a visual analogy for what being physically unwell feels like.
