vitamins/boosting immune system

[GreenDayJen]

any advice or recommendations on anything i can take to boost my immune system and make me feel a bit less run down?

i'm currently recovering from a nasty ear infection and on strong antibiotics. since november my wisdom tooth was infected three times and i was on 2 lots of antibiotics every time. possibly as a result of that i seem to pick up every bug going lately.

i've heard echinacea is good but any other suggestions of supplements?

thanks xx

echinacea and vitamin C, A and E. Zinc too.

Okay...take a multivitamin

Kiwi is good too. More vit C than oranges.

i've been eating them all week. mushy fruit good when you have a hole in your mouth huh?!

Yep. You're right there. I had porridge a lot. Wasn't allowed to suck anything, or use a straw. Drinking was difficult for a while.

You alright drinking?

stopped using straws today. paranoid im gonna get something stuck in the gap. being good with my saltwater rinses though. yeuk..

Saltwater washes are really helpful. Better than the mouthwash stuff so dentist told me. Wasn't allowed to suck though...they told me that. No straws, no alcohol, no nuffink that could be mildly pleasurable
