Time to break out the hard drugs

ailbheEmer coughed herself copiously sick. Rob's cough is now quite mild until he stands up and walks. Linnea's almost back to normal. I'm fine apart from a burning feeling where the infection is trying to take hold in my chest.
So I've dug out the vitamins and the echinacea, and given the children their doses (15 drops in a cup of juice) and taken mine (5ml, do not take while lactating, which I ignored because hello, I gave it to Emer direct). I've had a double dose of vitamins, which I intend to do for a couple of days or so, and I'm trying to work out what the deal is with children's vitamins.
Our diet is good, but clearly it's missing SOMETHING, or we wouldn't all get every bug that everyone else gets. But when we get them they seem to hang around more and limit us more - I won't take Linnea swimming at thepublic pool with other children if she's coughing, for example - so we need to get it sorted out.
I seem to remember a vitamin juice drink we had for a while when we were kids, called something like Floradix - I could add the echinacea to that. And the laudanum.
