No shot for colds: You can reduce the severity of infection by maintaining good health, through a balanced diet, exercise; avoiding tobacco and alcohol. You can reduce your chances of getting the infection by frequent hand washing. There are no specific foods that would prevent infection and and there is no shot for common cold.
