Bragg's apple cider vinegar (ACV). I was just reading about the many health benefits of this yesterday. To easy the itching, mix 1 cup ACV in your bath water and soak. Also, make sure it is the good stuff like Bragg's because the store brand doesn't even compare. You can take it internally once a day too (1 tsp. in 8oz of water) Your immune system is down, so I recommend elderberry syrup and Echinacea. Those are 2 things I take when I am sick with a virus. I hope that helps!
