The best way to avoid or reduce the number of colds you get is to eat well, get exercise, drink plenty of water, get adequate sleep, avoid people who are obviously sick, wash your hands frequently and practice regular oral care.
If you already have a cold, treat the symptoms and wait until it runs its course in 7 to 10 days. At the onset of a cold, use Zicam or Airborne to lessen the duration and severity of a cold. They work but only at the onset (very first symptoms).
I have found that as soon as I feel a cold starting I take 1 zinc tablet a day for about 7-10 days. It really does seem to work at holding off a cold. I haven't missed a day of work for a cold in the last 3 years I have been doing this.
