What Causes Cold, Sore Throat And Cough?
I have been fighting a cold, sore throat, cough (getting better) and stuffy nose for one week, starting my second week. Going out of town this weekend and the week following 15 days to be exact on vacation. Will a B12 shot be good to give me to boost my immune system and shorten the length of my cold? YYYY@YYYY

B12 may not offer much help against cold .. Cold is viral and is treated with rest and fluids along with medication .. B12 will only boost energy .. alternative treatments for cold include vitamin C , zinc and echinacea
