Question
I have been searching your site for information of coxsackie virus. I have recently been diagnosed with B5 and B6 and unfortunately my GP can do little but prescribe medicines to ease the symptoms. What else could I be doing to get better from this nasty viral infection?

Sameera (Dr.) Abbas

Answer I am not sure of which symptoms you are presenting with but normally coxsackie type B virus causes fatigue, fever, headache, sore throat, gastro-intestinal irritation, oral lesions and loss of appetite.   I have a suggested guideline for the treatment of viral infections, which will help combat these symptoms:               Vir-X, homeopathic drops (Enzyme Process) – which contains the Coxsackie virus, in a homeopathic form, which helps balance the immune system              Enzimmune caps (Enzyme Process) – supports the immune system when it is compromised and will also help with fatigue. Consists of a range of potent anti-virals (vitamins, minerals and herbs)              Ultra potent-C Powder (Metagenics) – vitamin C powder (non-acidic form in high doses) boosts the immune system and also acts as an anti-oxidant   Ultra Flora capsules (Amipro) – replenishes good bacteria in the gut, which help fight infection, keeping the immune system active, and it also help with gastro-intestinal discomfort            Colloidal Silver liquid – a natural antibiotic, can be used as a rinse/gargle for treatment of oral lesions and sore throat   Please ensure you drink sufficient fluids to prevent dehydration. Teas containing ginger, fennel, peppermint, fenugreek, rooibos and chamomile will be helpful. All of these products are available at our stores.
