Mommyof2boys - 88 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) There's lots of stuff you can take, call the pharmacist and ask what they would recommend or you can call and ask your doctor. Something that works great and is natural I would say try some lemon water, vitamin C-rich lemon juice increases body resistance, decreases toxicity and reduces the duration of the illness. One lemon should be diluted in a glass of warm water, and a teaspoon of honey should be added to it. This should be taken once or twice daily.
