Description

When you get sick, your immune system automatically kicks in, and other systems in your body start making adjustments to support your immune system.  Suddenly, you feel more tired, and you've lost your appetite.  Is that your body talking, or the disease?  Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference.  

Does it help when you sleep for hours on end or drink a bunch of orange juice or eat bowl after bowl of soup?  Or is there something else you should be doing to support your immune system?  On this episode of the Perry Health Pulse podcast, Dr. Anju Patel, pediatrician, discusses how your body reacts to a virus and what you can do to help fight it.
