Is there anything I can do to protect myself from getting a cold?

Yes, you can try to reduce your exposure to people who are sick. Wash your hands often and avoid touching your face with unwashed hands. Try to keep your distance from those who may be sick, such as avoiding close contact with people who have colds or flu symptoms. You should also get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids if you feel like you might be coming down with a cold.
