cronic cold

[gsud]

I am very prone to cold even for sudden change of weather or of I drink a cold glass of water it has a terrible effect on . I also have bad cough, at the time of cough it hurts my chest & starts headache. I already have taken too much of anti-biotic course, and too many cough syrups but still its became very regular for me to have bad cold. My chest X-Ray result shows Nothing(doct. advise).I used to swim regularly but I stoped that also. so please advice

As an unregulated over the counter supplement, who knows what Sambucol does or doesn't do, it hasn't been tested by the FDA.

Most colds are viral and that's why your frequent antibiotic courses aren't helping.

It's great that your CXR is clear and showing nothing.

Even if you stopped swimming, regular exercise can boost the immune system and make you stronger.  Try regular walks and increase your activity from there.

Good luck!

Maybe from the change of lifestyle your immunie system is a bit disoriented. If you really have nothing serious as it seems like, I can suggest you to take Sambucol which helps boost the immune system. It's made from balck elderberry which has more natural antioxidants than blackberries or cranberries. I use to get a cold relatively easy and since I have been using Sambucol I have not been sick at all. I hope it will help you.
