What Is the Common Cold?
8. Prevention
The common cold is so common that it is all but impossible to completely avoid it. However, taking certain steps will help to ensure that you are less likely to catch the disease. One of the most effective of all methods is to wash your hands regularly using soapy water and/or hand sanitizer.
You should also try to cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing to help prevent spreading the disease. Also avoid sharing items like cutlery and crockery with other people, and also take care of yourself in general to help keep your immune system strong. It will also help to try and keep clear of other people that appear to be ill.
