Is there anything I can do to help prevent the spread of a cold or the flu?

Yes, it is important to practice good hygiene and hand-washing techniques. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and clean surfaces frequently touched by multiple people such as door knobs, phones, and other items. It's also important to get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and take over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen for fever, aches, and pains if needed.
