Lots of orange juice....like half a gallon or more if you can take it. That's what I do if I even think a bug is coming on. Works for me. Anything that boosts the immune system. Vitamin c is your friend.

Since you're already there...you may want to try oregano oil. Heard that was a good fix for pneumonia so don't see why it wouldn't work for other respiratory infections.
Orange juice wouldn't be a problem if I didn't have acid reflux for me. So I just take supplements. I've heard of oregano oil being good and I also heard of garlic being good also. But I don't want to smell like garlic.

You should order the oregano oil...those kind of infections can last for weeks.

It can probably be delivered to you in a day or 2...I'd look at reviews to see which brand is the best quality.

Maybe try to find something else with vitamin c that's not so hard on the stomach.

Hope you feel better soon !

This is what I do

Herbal Tea/Hot Shower for bronchitis, flu, cold, allergies, sinuses

Hot Toddies. Will help you break stuff up, sweat out fevers, clear sinuses up. But I'd recommend not drinking too much while you are on medication.

Jalapenos. Won't recommend it for you if you have Acid Reflux. But a little heat to clear the nose.



Stomach bug.. Mix gatorade with carbonated water and tablespoon of ginger. Get rehydrated and settle your stomach. Might not taste all that great, but it is bearable to drink.

All these things mentioned here definitely help, but when I got bronchitis three years in a row it was terrible and lasted for weeks. Couldn't sleep, eat or anything. What cleared it up real quick was a trip to the doctor and a script for an antibiotic, prednisone and inhalers. Only wished I had gone to the doctor sooner!

Hope you feel better soon!
If you look at the printout that comes with a prednisone

script, under the side effects, you will find one of them

to be: inappropriate happiness.



Srsly.
