Birth Control Pill: I admire you for your concern for Health. Trust healing powers of your body, it sure will take care of “Feeling little sick” Orange juice does not prevent cold. Taking vitamin C supplements regularly produces reduction in the duration of a cold by 1 day. Vitamin C can cause a rise in estrogen levels, Oral estrogens can also decrease the effects of vitamin C in the body. See a Gynecologist.
