Try Echinacea. It's found in health food shops, and is a natural remedy. It's great for making you feel better when you wake up feeling shitty. You can use it daily to boost your immune system too. Happy Health!

If you doctor OKs it, you might try adding a "good" bacteria product to your diet. You can buy lactobacillus capsules anywhere you buy vitamins or you could just try eating a package or two of live-culture yogurt every day.  (Just make sure the yogurt says "live culture" on it.)

Eat oranges. Buy a bag, n eat them while on the net or watching tv. LOTS of water, 8+ glasses daily, stay away from sodas and juices for this time, it will help you heal faster. Then sleep n sleep. But, don't stay bundled up in your house under a blanket all day long. Move around, walk around the house. If you stay in your 'sick' way of life, ive always found that it took longer to get over the flue. The more active I was around the house (cooking, cleaning, getting up myself to get myself water, doing the dishes)..the faster I would heal. \n\nGet Well!

I have suggested many of the following natural treaments for cold with great success. \n\nAmp up on Vitamin C and Zinc. Drink a glass of hot green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the morning.\n\nEat only fruits and vegatables during the day plus avoid mucous creating foods such as milk, bread and cheese. Fast from eating meat as your digestive system needs to be ridding itself of toxins and meat will slow down the process. Avoid refined sugar in sugary drinks.\n\nAdd a tablespoon of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and one or two drops of wild oregeno oil to a glass of apple juice, pomogranete juice or grape juice three times a day. Add cayenne if you have mucous in your chest, eyes, ears, nose or throat. Drink six glasses of distilled water each day. Drink three glasses of clean water with 1/4 tablespoon of unrefined sea salt.\n\nDrink a glass of hot Green tea with Echinacea and Honey in the evening with Camomile and take a hot bath before you go to bed. Sit in a bathtub with hot water. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon cayenne. Sweat out the toxins and go to sleep.\n\nAll sickness comes from the gut. By alkalizing your body and cleansing you will not only cure your cold but also give your body, gut, and skin a wonderful treat.\nSource(s):

The best thing to do is to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids like orange juice and water. Another thing that really helps me is to drink hot lemon aid. I like to take 1000 mgs of vitamin C every 6 hrs it helps the symptoms and gets your immune system working better.

Add a vitamin supplement to your normal diet.  Vitamins usually plump you up.  Try women's one-a-day or centrum.....something like that.

- All kinds of vegetables would be good, not cooked to oblivion but raw or juiced- tomatoes, most anything green etc. \n- Medicinal mushrooms (shiitake, maitake etc., just google it)\n\nThere are also countless supplements out there that claim to be good for the immune system. Just about non of them of course have any scientific backing for theri claims, but who knows.\n\nJust keep two things in mind: \nALWAYS ask you oncologist before chemo if you are taking something - some supplements/substances are actually counterindicated with certain chemotherapeutica\nALWAYS put chemo first - supplements etc. can be adjunctive to chemo but unless you want to die earlier they should not be instead.

Echinacea supplement is good. i don't get them but my sister does and she started to take it, it builds up your immune system so it builds your natural resistance to them

You need to boost your system with a lot of fresh fruit and veg.  build your energy levels back up.  however be aware that a long viral infection could lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.  give yourself a month to improve and if you are still feeling tired or things get worse consult your doctor.

Warm baths, chamomile tea, a B-Complex vitamin daily, lavender scented things (soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, candles, incense).  Also prayer and/or meditation is helpful to some, as is exercise.  Eat properly, and get enough rest.

well, i read previously in an article that vitamin C is actually not useful when it comes to boosting immunity. in fact, the study on that article was done on a group of 400 people, 200 of whom eat 3-4 times as much as vitamin C as the other group and in the end, their immunity are the same. The group who took the 3-4 times vitamin C only can shorten the time they got sick like 1-2 days. So it really doesnt help. i cant rem when i saw this article, but it was in the Singapore major newspaper months back.\n\nLike yourself, i am very sick prone, i have 2-5 ulcers (canker sores) a month, fever every 2 months. Its almost like a routine to me. I am a non smoker, i dont drink alcohol, i dont club, no drugs. \n\nAnyhow recently i am getting so better (i hope it aint gonna go downhill again). Its my change of environment i guess. Much cleaner air now, i drink more than 2 litres of plain water everyday, do some long distance walking every week (40 to 60 mins fast walk each time), sleep 8 hours a day. Been doing this for 3 months already and i feel so much healthier, and not much problems i mention previously.\n\nHope i helped! :)
