Echinacea is an herbal supplement that boost your immune system. Also Vitamin C. There is a brand of tea called "Traditional Medicinals" (usually found in your stores organic section Kroger carries it) The flavor of tea is "HerbaTussin" it is really good at breaking up the nasty phlegm and everything.


Good luck and hope you feel better!

You need to go to the clinic and talk to a physician about your concern the pharmacist can tell you what immune boosters there are and then you can choose the one that fits your needs.

It is always important to take antibiotics all the way through the time period precribed or else you may not eliminate all the bacteria and it may, in turn, become resistant to further treatment by that particular antibiotic. I thought ten dats was the typical period for dosing not five. Maybe you need to get a second opinion from another physician,

Vitamin C seems to be a good choice for an over-the-counter immune booster. But bear in mind that many physicians question the efficacy of vitamins of all sorts.

Good luck. I would seek a second opinion if your primary physician doesn't take a culture in order to positively identify your infection. You need to speak up and demand better treatment or a switch to a new physician who cares about getting you well again.
