I feel like I am coming down with a sore throat or something, but I have a big event to go to tomorrow... if i take a lot of vitamin C today, will it help at all? What should I do?

I am afraid that if you are already infected you will not rid yourself of the bug by taking supplements. Your immune system is already doing this for you, do not overdo supplements you may not need them and therefore overdose. Just make sure that you drink adequate fluids to keep you hydrated and rid your body of toxins, eat healthy food rich in vitamins. Tonight have a nice relaxing bath and take the recommended dose of pain relief, and get an early night. Hope you feel better for your big event, Good Luck!!!

Vitamin C should help but it is better as a preventative. You should be sure to get lots of vitamin C all of the time, from fruit s and vegetables as well as supplements.

Vitamin C may help you fight it off. You should also look into a zinc supplement. you can buy them at the drug store over the counter. There is also a new supplement out called Ziacam it contains vitamin C and Zinc.

Yes or cod liver oil! Don't take a load of vitamins though that will make you feel even more ill. Get a good noghts sleep, drink honey and lemon drinks and lots of water!
