Suggest Treatment For Respiratory Tract Infection

At the end of November I had head conjestion, lot of drainiage, took Clariton D and it subsided. Then I got a horrible cough end of December it then subsided. Then my husband got sick had a cough. I watch my baby granddaughter, she is in daycare 3 days a week, she has congested lungs and lots of nose drainage and a cough. Now I got back my horrible cough, I took a CF expectorant, cough seems productive.

What can I use right now to help relive the symptons, I do take supplements daily. What prebiotic should I use to gain a strong immune system.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of recurrent viral infection is more.
Spread of viruses is common in family members.
Amongst viruses, Influenza virus is the most common cause for these symptoms.
So my recommendation is to take annual Influenza vaccine.
This will provide immunity against Influenza for one year.
You should also take raw green leafy vegetables, fruits, pulses, milk etc.
Also start protein supplements, multivitamin tablet, probiotic (antioxidants) drugs etc.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
