I hope you are using sodium ascorbate powder for your vitamin C. This is what Linus Pauling took. He took 6-10 grams daily.
When ill you want your blood to have high vitamin C all day long. You want vitamin C saturation of your blood. So 10 grams-— but in 5-6-7 divided doses.

I have been taking around 6 grams of Vitamin C in 1 gram tablets for over 50 years. They keep my allergies to house dust, cigarette smoke, ragweed, and cool weather mold under control. Usually I take 2 grams in the morning and at night, and 1 gram tablets during the day as nasal congestion occurs. If I am doing heavy house cleaning I might take 2 grams before I start. I presume what I have been taking is ascorbic acid. A few times when sick I have mixed magnesium ascorbate powder into water and drunk that, and used anywhere from 12 to 24 grams over 24 hours.
On a wilderness campout 40 years ago I was volunteering at the camp’s MASH tent. A woman had been stung by 3 yellow jackets in her neck, and forgot to pack her bee allergy kit. Her eyes were swollen shut, she was choking and there was swelling all over her body. Something called “rescue remedy” had been given her but was not working. Fortunately they had a big bottle of 1 gram Vitamin C tablets. I crushed 10 and mixed with a glass of water and had her drink it. In 20 minutes her eyes were open, she was no longer choking, and the swelling on her body was much less. I spent the next 8 hours with her giving her 5 grams each hour. Finally, she said she felt better and she knew what she was feeling, so I left a handful of C tablets with her and hiked back to my tent at 4 am. So she had taken a total of 50 grams of C while I was with her. The next afternoon I went to see her and was told she and her friends had hiked the 3 miles to parking and she was much better.
I had read about the work of a southern Dr. Klener (sp?) who had used very high dose for poison snake bites and black widow spider bites. I figured if it worked for those poisons, it would probably work for wasp family poisons, and it did. More recently I have found the works of Dr. Robert Cathcart on the many uses of high dose Vitamin C for serious illness to be of great interest. His method of raising the dose to bowel tolerance is useful information. Using his name and those words at Google should probably find his writings. Of course the Fauci crowd just ignores his 10,000 successfully treated cases as merely “anecdotal” information. He recommends that a normally healthy person should take 4 grams of C a day at roughly 6 hour intervals.
I never have had stomach issues using Vitamin C in this way. I had ear infections when I was a child, so when my sons had colds and fever, after age 1, I would crush a 500 mg. C tablet, mix it with water, a tablespoon of honey, and 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder, put that in a baby bottle and shake well. THey would take it to bed and if they woke at night they would suck it and go back to sleep. They never had ear infections. I also found that for both them and myself it would drop a fever about 2 degrees. Like from 103 to 101 degrees. Some fever is healing, but not too high.
Babies under 1 should never have raw honey.
