Multiple colds? and flu?

Question

I was wondering when is it okay to go see the doctor when you have had multiple colds?

It has been over one month (almost 6 weeks) and I have been sick. For the first week I have fought off the flu after that I just keep on getting colds. Right when I feel like it is clearing up I get a cold again.

I had surgery in December. So maybe an infection? I have no clue. Though I think the symptoms would be worse.

I know going to the Doctor for a cold isn't what you are supposed to do. But I am at the point where the cold feels not so common anymore.

I started taking vitamins but I am still sick.

So when is it considered okay to see the Doctor? I am starting to clear up again. I am just tired of being sick.

There are a couple of times where my stomach hurt. And I almost...you know.

This is cold and flu season but enough is enough.

Answer 1

When our bodies are fighting illness, the immune system can weaken making us susceptible to secondary infections. Perhaps you should see your doctor and take a cycle of antibiotics. This would protect you from another cold while your body is fighting this one.

Hope you feel better.

Answer 2

PLEASE try these 3 remedies...EVERY time I feel run-down or get that tickly feeling in my throat I take these 3 things and it NEVER turns into a full-blown cold.

1) Olive Leaf Extract by "Herb Pharm"....it's in liquid form, and has no side effects...it immediately goes to work to kill any viruses in you...and it's all natural.

2) "JarrowDophilus", by "Jarrow Formulas"...it will keep the healthy "flora" in your body in perfect balance which keeps your immune system strong.

3) "Emergen-C" Vitamin C packets by "Alacer"

All three can be purchased at "Whole Foods Market", possibly "Trader Joe's", or call your local health food store to inquire about these 3 products.

EVERY friend and family member who has taken this advice, hardly ever gets sick.

For your throat: "Peaceful Mountain--Throat Rescue"
You will NEVER find a more powerful throat spray which is all-natural....soothing, fast acting, and kills bad bacteria on contact.

Cayenne Pepper in capsules (or sprinkled on soup) helps greatly with congestion AND is also an immune systen booster too....and drink lots of organic green tea to help your energy levels.

You'll see!! :) Get well soon!
