If you've noticed that your office is a little bit less full lately, you're not alone. Dr. Marlon Weiss says he's been seeing many cases of the common cold. While he recommends some natural remedies to ease the symptoms of a cold, he says when a person doesn't feel up to normal daily activities, it might be time to see the doctor.
Meantime, Jennifer Burback of Akin's Natural Foods says that eating a healthy diet and taking supplements like Acidophiles and Elderberry can help prevent illness.
Weiss says he's not as familiar with natural cures but he agrees with Burback that Vitamin C and Zinc can help lessen the symptoms of the common cold.
Weiss says it's not too late to get a flu shot. He says he expects to see more cases of the flu in January.
