so my little one has been sick with a virus turned into a bacterial infection I think. he's been coughing like crazy so I have been taking airborne trying to fight it off so I don't get it. Does anybody take that? Tonight I feel like tickly cough but I think its from allergies. does anybody have any home remedies to prevent illness? I haven't caught it so far and he's been sick for almost two weeks.
I'm starting to worry because when I get a cough it lingers forever. I don't want to have to take off work I'm trying to save my vacation
think I'm going to go eat some garlic😋

If you can find some elderberry syrup with echinacea, that might help ward off a cold. My daughter is getting over strep. I was sure my son would catch it, but I gave him elderberry syrup twice a day and he didn't carch it! May be just dumb luck, but it can't hurt.

Hey Hazelnut,
I take airborn all the time, I am a school teacher. Really though, the best defense is lots of rest, good food, and warm liquids.
