Feeling Under the Weather
Hi Sapper
I think that what you are experiencing is just bad luck. I also take 1 g of Vit C a day, and have done for several years, and have had no more than the usual share of colds over this past year. I tend to take a 'LemSip' for them and keep track of the 3 carbs per sachet, for completeness.
Once you have had one cold your defences are weaker and so it just may be that there is a lot going around in your area. Germs/viruses are very easily spread.
Beside your diet, have there been any other changes in your life recently? I know that when I started my new job 3 years ago I got quite a few colds not long afterwards and suspect that was to do with the stresses in my new environment.
Sorry to hear that this latest cold has affected your sinuses. It could be that you have got a secondary infection that follows on from the initial cold. If you are creating mucus that is not clear, particularly if it is yellow, you should go to the doctor for a full course of antibiotics as this is the only way to clear this. Otherwise keep taking the ibuprofen or paracetamol.
Hope you are better soon.
