To prevent yourself from catching a cold, it is important to wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Avoid touching your face as much as possible. Try to avoid close contact with people who are sick. Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, and eat nutritious meals. Drink plenty of fluids such as water, juice, or hot beverages like tea or coffee. If you feel symptoms of a cold coming on, take over the counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen for relief.
