Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin A, vitamin C and zinc help your body to repair tissue damage, fight infections, and keep your skin healthy. Try to eat foods from the lists below. Vitamin A is found in animal foods and some brightly coloured vegetables and fruits. Many vegetables and fruits are high in vitamin C.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin C (VitC) or ascorbic acid (AscA), a cofactor for collagen synthesis and a primary antioxidant, is rapidly consumed post‐wounding. Parenteral VitC administration suppresses pro‐inflammatory responses while promoting anti‐inflammatory and pro‐resolution effects in human/murine sepsis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin C: Other research has found that vitamin C may not prevent viral respiratory infections but can speed recovery. Not in dispute: Vitamin C is vital for the function of leukocytes – white blood cells that help fight infections – and you need a lot more when you’re sick.
