Weak immune system

[eash]

Last Monday i was sick, think i caught a bug, and lost 10lbs in less than a day, i feel better in that sense but have now caught a terrible cold. I am going away for the weekend next Friday and don't want to feel rough for it, does anyone have any remedies for me to get better quickly and stay well? I can't take any more time off work...Thanks

I'm afraid most heavy colds simply have to work their own way through, taking about five days. Take plenty of warm fluid and vitimin C (hot lemon & honey, and orange juice). If you're developing a temperature an aspirin or paracetomol might help. No late night parties - your body needs as much sleep as it can getand by next Friday you might just be starting to feel like a human being again.

Hi,

You could try taking some multi vitamins and echinacea, just to give your immune system a boost. Check out with the pharmacy before taking either if you are on any other medication. Hope you feel well soon!
