What suggestions can you give to keep from catching a sibling's cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good luck on this...: The only way to avoid catching a cold is by avoiding contact. We are most contagious the first day or two when we might not show any symptoms. Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands.
