Eat right, exercise.: Your immune system get healthy when you are and also when it gets challenged.

Vitamins: There is no evidence that vitamins are ever going to increase your immune system to a specific virus. Hpv  is so common, it might be considered an anomaly instead of an abnormality.

Your past infections are up to your own immune systems.

Question 7

constantly get sick! infections, sore throat, sinus problems, flu etc. please recommend what to do or take to boost my immune system. taking vital choice and vit b injection. anything better? im desperate!

Accepted Answer

It's not that simple: Many "non-medical" supplements, foods, herbs, and techniques are claimed to "boost" the immune system, but none have been proven effective. The immune system is complex, and "boosting" it to make it act stronger is not always a good thing. In conditions like arthritis, thyroid disease, diabetes type 1, lupus, eczema, etc..., the immune system is over-acting and damaging the patient's organs.

Question 8

if someone has a cold/flu, does this make their immune system 'busy'. for example, are they more likely to catch a second illness or alternatively are they just as likely to catch it but likely to take longer to fight both illnesses separately?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This depends on the illness types. Viral illnesses tend to generate a blocking agent called interferon, which generally prevents other viruses from attacking the same tissues. However, interferon does not alter what bacteria might do. If you have the flu, you don't get another flu at the same time, but might get a bacterial pneumonia at the same time.

Question 9

i am currently in quarantine due to being in contact with a covid 19 positive patient.

i am starting to feel some symptoms relating to the illness and would like to know what medication to take so as to relieve my symptoms and boost my immune system?

Accepted Answer

Get well soon.: Rest, hydrate, quarantine &amp; eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion. Vitamin C may be helpful.

Accepted Answer
