To help prevent getting a cold, try washing your hands regularly with soap and water. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth as much as possible. Get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid smoking or secondhand smoke exposure. If you feel like you may be coming down with a cold, consider using over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen, decongestants, or antihistamines to help relieve symptoms.
