Getting sick lately

I've been in and out of sickness lately due to the ever changing weather in Manila. It's hot and sunny in the morning and cold and raining in the afternoon. Not to mention the air pollution I inhale going to and from work. Last week I had two absences already because of fever, sore throat and headache. Now, I still have a sore throat, colds and cough. I couldn't afford to file a sick leave because honestly, I think I have none left.

What measures should be taken to prevent getting sick all the time? Perhaps taking vitamins to strengthen the immune system and protection from viruses that cause these sickness? But I'd much prefer the natural kind, fruits rich in Vitamin C. I'm a fan of sour fruits, I prefer them over the sweet kind.

I don't normally take meds when I have colds, I just take plenty of fluids and plenty of rest. A good 8 hours long sleep should do the trick. But I haven't had any chance of doing this because I am on a deadline with our perfume business. Hopefully this weekend, but I wouldn't raise my hopes up. Still have a lot of things to do at home, including reviewing for the Civil Service Exam.
