Common cold
Prevention
Unfortunately there is no vaccination to stop you from
getting a cold. However, if you have a cold, there
are some things you can do to help prevent it from
spreading:
• wash your hands regularly and properly, especially
after touching your nose or mouth and before
handling food.
• always sneeze and cough into tissues.
• do not share cups or kitchen utensils with others.
Treatment
You can treat the symptoms of a common cold at home.
The following self-care advice may be helpful:
• drink plenty of fl uids to keep yourself hydrated.
Water is best, but warm drinks can be soothing.
• try to rest and avoid strenuous activity.
• raise your head as you sleep by having an extra
pillow on your bed. This can help reduce coughing
at night.
