I don't know if it will help in your case, but oregano oil is a very
powerful anti-bacterial/anti-viral substance.  Also there may be some
truth in the old honey and lemon remedy for chest and throat
infections- honey has a strong anti-microbial action.

Other than that, my only advice would be to eat what you feel like
when you're hungry, fast when you're not, and get plenty of rest.
That always sorts me out- there aren't many infections that will
knock out an otherwise healthy human.
