Okay, my two daughters just started a new day care 2 weeks ago and I have already caught my first flu virus. I usually do not get sick much, but since having kids I am getting sick alot more frequently. Since the girls were kept by a babysitter previously I am expecting them to bring home alot of viruses that they have not built up immunities to yet. Like I said, I am getting over this cold right now, and it hit me HARD. I was down for the count the entire weekend and pretty much useless today as well. Anyway, I have never taken vitamins but it has been suggested that this is a very good way to combat the colds, or at least lessen the effects when they do hit. Any suggestions as to types, so on. I have heard to take a multi and a second that loads me up on C, is this correct?
