A member asked:

What is the best way to fight off a cold or whatever it is in a day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Alan Ali answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Cold: Not sure how to advise you on that, since I am not clear with "whatever it is" . Best to consult your pcp if symptoms are bothering you.
