Vitamin Supplement

Happy Sunday Docs
I’ve heard you both talk extensively about the rare need of taking a multivitamin, vitamin d, or other similar supplements without a doctor’s prescription and/or diagnosed deficiency. I was diagnosed with strep throat this AM at an urgent care. Is this a situation where increasing vitamin intake is beneficial? I’m on antibiotics which I know will ultimately resolve the illness. But anything I can do to feel less crummy and get back to training sooner would be dope.

Unfortunately, increasing vitamin intake would not be expected to help in this situation. Streptococcal pharyngitis is typically quite responsive to antibiotics, however.
