Both: If by atm you mean "at the moment, " then resting does surely help you recover. A bit of fresh air does also make many patients feel better. They describe it as "a breath of fresh air." :-) they are not mutually exclusive. Many people manage to both rest and get fresh air. Hope you fell better soon!
