The basics: You avoid infections best by routine hand washing to remove germs acquired by touching where others have planted germs from saliva. If you touch your face or mouth with contaminated fingers you will likely get sick. Extremes in heat/cold can be avoided. Antihistamines & similar meds do little more than give you something to do. Ibuprofen does help with discomfort.
