Suggest Medications & Nutrition For Paitnets With Lung Infections
My wife needs to boost her immune system to help fight off a lung infection she is being treated for. She is getting a course of antibiotics for 2 or 3 weeks depending upon results and has been urged to move around (walk, etc.), keep her nutrition up, get sleep. What else could she do to boost her immune system and are their specific types of nutrition that is most effective?
