The first thing to do is to have your vitamin D level optimized. Optimal levels are at least 70. If you rub your knuckles over your breastbone with a fair amount of pressure and feel discomfort, you likely have sub-optimal vitamin D levels. Ask your healthcare provider to order the 25 hydroxy D test (not the 1,25 hydroxy D test). Avoid Quest labs, which is not accurate.
If your levels are low, supplement with 2000 to 5000 IUs daily until your levels are optimized. You won't get vitamin D toxic on doses under 10,000 IUs daily. You can also go out in the sun until you get a little pink. This only works if you do not use soap or swim in a chlorinated pool for 48 hours after sun, otherwise you will wash off the vitamin D before it is absorbed into your blood stream. (It is OK (and adviable) to shower and use soap on your groin and axilla)
Second, I would purchase oscillococcinum, a homeopathic remedy, that is available in most pharmacies. It is an over-the -counter product that has scientific evidence confirming its benefits in reducing the duration and severity of the flu. Simply take it as soon as flu-like symptoms arise or close contacts develop the flu.
Lastly, your immune system is strengthened by healthy fruits and veggies and weakened by sugar. So, eat a wholesome diet and omit the sugary snacks until the threat has passed.
