colds?: While exposure to viruses in the community, especially if you are exposed to young children regularly such as in a school setting, will make you predisposed to recurrent urti, you may need to consult an allergist/immunologist to check on your immune system and determine if there is any underlying deficiency.

Wash hands : Keep sanitizer on hand for when you're at the grocery store pushing carts many others touch, sneeze, and cough on as well as when you can't wash hands. Male sure to wash hands before eating. Remember to change toothbrush within a couple of days of antibiotics for strep.
