Also i want to ask you if is ok to take a natural multivitamin which contain ginger and astralagus. as always I apprecciated your answer, fondly , Spanish

Thanks for your post and kind words.

In the short term, it's fine to take over-the-counter allergy remedies and multivitamins (I advise avoiding high dose vitamin C, garlic and St. Johns wort).

Hope this helps, BY
