I know how you feel about being sick. I use Echinacea and garlic capsules. I double up when I am sick. 3 in the morning,noon and night of the garlic and 2 Echinacea tablets 3 times a day until its gone them I revert back to 3 garlic in the morning and night and 3 Echinacea in the morning and night. It will still take a few day s to pass so I keep it up all the time so I don't get sick again.I hope you feel better real soon.
