1- Get a flu shot...no it's not only for the elderly
2- Vitamin C! Eat a lot of oranges, lemons, spinach...but if you don't like or can't eat them then you can get vitamin C capsules!
3- I know this sounds quite rude but try to stay as far away as you can from pple with flu. Trust me...it works(unless you're cursed!)

If you only sneeze once each time, it's probably a cold. If you sneeze in pairs or groups, it's probably allergies. Allergy treatments are pretty effective -- the most effective is diphenhydramine (benadryl) it'll make you drowsy, though. You could us loratadine or alavert -- they're non-drowsy, and work well. For a cold, I have a regimin that I do, and I NEVER stay sick for long -- most people think it's ridiculous and overkill, but -- hey, it works for me. I take 1000 mg of vitamin C every hour for 12 hours, then I take 1000mg of vitamin C every 12 hours for the next several days. I also take zinc lozenges (not pills, but lozenges, that you suck on) every 8 hours for several days. The vitamin C boosts the immune system and helps fight off infections. Zinc, if taken early enough, can work against the virus by not letting it reproduce as easily. Good luck, and I hope you feel better!

If you're trying to prevent getting sick yourself, get a face mask. It helps to block other ppl germs. Also drinking hot tea mixed with orange juice and cough drops. The cough drops is for the coughing and the orange juice gives your body extra vitamin c which is good for any cold. Or you could always buy thermal-flu.

Just keep yourself warn by wearing proper cloth when it cold outside!Don't stay out too much especially when the weather is very bad(cold).Take lots of fruits and if need be go for Vitamin c supplements which is very good to fight against cold.Also their is this fish oil which is very good for prevention ask your nearest Pharmacy).Contrating it from people depends on your daily interactions and most importantly your body system.Because all of us have a different body system in contracting communicable disease like flu.Wish u all the best and I believe lots or more answers we help u.Good lucky and stay Healthy.

Best way to prevent a cold is to wash your hands well and often, specially if you are around people who have colds. If you do catch a cold, the best remedy is lots of fluids. Zinc has been found to reduce the length of symptoms by half.
