Get yourself some Airborne, and some Vitamin C 500 mg.
If possible, get both at the health food store, as they will be fresher, and the Vitamin C will be natural, not man made synthetic.
Take the Vitamin C 2-4 times a day to build up your system, and as for the Airborne, follow the instructions on the box.
This should do it, if not, and you've already started to get sick, this will still greatly lighten the duration and strength of the virus.
Happy health to you.

Ask your Doctor.No cure for cold,but maybe there is something out there that will help your immune system,if it is so bad that a cold will require hospital because of your asthma.This is serious and I know there is at least some kind of therapy,or regime to follow(mask,air filter system,etc)have you had your immune system checked by blood work,etc?This could be a problem,also.Ask your Doctor to check this out,especially if you have pneumonia that sets in ofton.

Staying away is the only fool-proof way. But if that's not a choice, wash your hands frequently, get lots of vitamin C to help boost your immune system, and help keep the bathroom area clean. After all, that's where a lot of germs get passed around.
Good luck!

the best way for you to not catch the cold/flu is for you to live in a plastic bubble untill a few weeks after your family gets better

Make sure to always get flu vaccination ...but you can't do anything preventive against cold- except for washing your hands like crazy...and wearing a mask.

wear a mask, like the ones a painter wears. i have a medical condition also, if i caught a cold i'd be in the hospital for a few days too. wearing a mask may look odd, but it works.

I would load up on your vitamins and drink plenty of oj and keep Germex(antibacterial gel) handy at all times...wash your hands!
If you keep your immune system tuned up then you will have less likely chance of catching a cold

Wash your hands, wash your hands, and wash your hands!!! Don't put your hands or fingers in your mouth, nose or eyes. Buy some hand sanitizer. I am a nurse and the best defense against spreading germs is to handwash diligently.

Face mask.
For you and them.
Wash your hands alot.
Take multivitamins, even if that means prescription prenatal ones to help boost the immune system.
Don't stay around them too long.
Bleach and Windex the bathroom down.
Don't kiss or hug them.

Go to a friends house. I get the same thing and it really sucks. I want to help everyone and I do, but then I pay the price. Good Luck...
