A member asked:

Immune system low after 2 bad throat infections. would probiotic bio kult and vitamin d help me. i feel like i have the flue. and flagyl was so strong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flue: Before you go looking for medicines please see your doctor for a physical exam and lab studies. Of the items you listed vitamin D is a safe and inexpensive over the counter medicine and you could take 1,000 or 2,000 units a day and quite low expense (less than labs).
