With your doctors approval, there are a variety of home remedies for cold and flu to consider. Vitamin C prevents the onset of colds and shortens the duration of a cold. Luckily, nature provides high vitamin C foods just when we need them–citrus of all kinds, pineapple, guavas, kiwis, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower. These are all fall and winter produce and should be enjoyed in the winter months. And once the cold hits, taking additional vitamin C supplements can be helpful.
