Paul,
I have the same problem. I get sinusitis, rhinitis, swollen glands etc. Sometimes its bacterial infections so I get prescribed antibs and sometimes its a virus so I sweat it out.

My Doc told me that the average person gets THREE respiratory tract infections a year. I am definitely around the average.

I do not like taking antibs and when I am sick I take echinacea and eat really good food. For sore throats I lace my fruit teas with honey and take paracetamol. For sinuses I out a towel over my head and my head over a basin of boiling water with pine or olbas oil in it.

Ginger tea with honey soothes my throat I find, and I try to drink a lot of water. Other than that sleep is the best cure I find.
