Fighting a summer cold/flu and losing the battle

I am surprised I caught anything given the fact that I am taking all of my vitamins/minerals/supplements but I did.  Frankly, I don't know what to do.  I usually catch something a couple of times a year because I am anemic but I thought that would get better with the extra iron.  The problem is that the over the counter meds are making me woozy and light headed and very unwell.  I am wondering if you guys have encountered this and how did you deal with it. 

My Dr. prescribed a nasal medicine for allergies, nasocort. It really helps me

It sounds like allergies, you may have something going on with your ears too that is making you feel a lil woozy.  That happened to me not long ago and it was discovered that I had some water behind my ear that was making me have a bit of vertigo.  I was prescribed some vertigo meds and same as Wendy the nasacort and was better in no time.
