You cannot cure a cold but you can help protect yourself from getting a cold by following good personal hygiene practices. A healthy diet and getting sufficient sleep are also important in helping to prevent colds. Our immune system is also affected by stress. Studies have shown that people are more susceptible to getting colds after times of psychological stress.
Good hygiene practices include:
1. Washing hands properly and frequently
2. Covering the mouth when coughing or sneezing
3. Wiping noses using disposable tissues in a way that secretions are contained by the tissue without contaminating the hands
4. Avoid rubbing the eyes with dirty hands
5. Avoid nail biting.
