Nope.
Once you catch a virus there not much you can do.
Your doctor could prescibe some anti-viral drug which could help the cold/flu be shorter.
The best way to prevent getting sick is to
A: Don't share food, drinks, smokes or lips with anyone who is sick.
B: Wash your hands often.
C: Get a Flu shot
Even all this won't stop you from getting sick all the time
the average person gets a cold 2-4 times a year
Sucks huh????

Hey there. You could get it, but here are the best things to shorten or prevent the cold. First, take as much a four pills of vitamin c a day, and take 2-3 echinacea pills. Use what is called Zicam. It can be found in most drug stores, and shortens and prevents the common cold if you think you are getting one. Here is the Zicam website: http://www.zicam.com/. These things work for me all the time, and I hope they work for you too.

you could easily have gotten the same virus from your friend. You can decrease symptoms and shorten duration by using Zicam nasal swabs. Follow the directions on the package, this stuff really does work.
