"   Question I have a flu-like viral infection at the moment. My doctor advises rest.  Since having this virus I have come into contact with dozens of people, none of whom have contracted it.  What can I do to boost my immune system to prevent against this again?   Answer I don&amp;#039;t think there is any simple remedy yet known to &amp;#039;boost&amp;#039; the immune system. I&amp;#039;m sure that your doctor is right in that all you can do is minimise any stress that you&amp;#039;re under, so your body gets a chance to recuperate.  Take time off work and try to rest, sleep and eat regularly, keeping to a healthy diet. If you don&amp;#039;t start to feel better after a week or two, then I&amp;#039;d advise consulting your doctor again to check the diagnosis and consider further investigations if necessary.  I hope you start to feel strong again soon. Yours sincerely The NetDoctor Medical Team  Other Qs &amp;amp;amp; As Am I ill? Can having a bath lower my immune defences?
