As a former sickly mom of two former low immunity kids, I would say get some Olive Leaf Extract, Colloidal Silver, smelly Garlic pills, and a whole bunch of probiotics. Talk to someone who works at the store you bought them in about how much to take. I would at least take 10 billion cells of probiotics a day while youre sick and at least 4 olive leaf. The colloidal silver depends on what kind you get.
Good luck,
Alison
ps green tea is an excellent antioxidant for a little boost. Also, go to www.innersource.net (QandA)to find some energy techniques to do to help your body heal faster.
I don't know of anything you can take other than whatever the dr gives you. I am so sorry girl. I wish I were closer and I would help you out!
Apparently you need alot of bedresting. Im not quite sure if any herbal teas would help but you can try it to see how it works out. I hope you feel better.
Short term, Zinc losenges, (let them melt in your mouth, don't swallow them) every 2-3 hours. Cold-eeze is a good brand you can pickup quickly at your drugstore.

Hi I can help with this, there is an all natural herbal formula called VS-C that is very good for Epstein Bar you go to www.naturessunshine.com and they make it. And also the Silver Shield which is the best form of Collodial Silver that you can buy.
You can read about these on the website also
I haven't strolled down to see what others have said because my kids are running in and out of the office screaming, but try gargling salt water!!! It's gross but good for the throat!!!
