Title: Catching A Cold
Post by: froggylover227 on January 27, 2016, 05:50:40 am

I had a bad cold about 3 weeks ago. I'm all better now, but I'm worried because I have some vacation plans in two weeks and some people around me have a cold now. Is it possible that I can catch a cold again this soon after having one? Generally speaking, I only get about 2 or 3 colds a year. I've started taking an herbal supplement to boost my Vitamin C, so hopefully that will ward anything off. But I just don't want to be sick for my vacation!

How exciting - a vacation! Hopefully with keeping your vitamin C intake high and keeping everything clean so germs don't transfer you won't catch another cold.

Take zinc as well.  Drink plenty of fluids, wash your hands often and try to stay away from people.
