Answer 1

You CANNOT PREVENT A COLD, it's a virus and there are NO CURES for any virus. When you have a cold, all you can do is take something to make you comfortable and sometimes that doesn't work. You can take 1000 mgs of Vitamin C everyday, it will make the cold less severe.

If you've already been infected, there isn't much you can do to really prevent it, but you can stop it from getting worse. Get lots of rest (7-8 hours), drink lots of water, and keep your hands clean.
