how do you get rid of back and forth cold

[Anonymous]

Baby got sick, slight cold last friday.

Now I have cold.

I do not want him to catch a cold again, what is the best way to avoid this.

If you have the same cold he did, he shouldn't be able to catch it twice because his body will have created antibodies to the virus by being sick the first time. There are hundreds of variations of the cold virus, though, so if you have a different one he could catch it. Just do what you normally do to avoid transmitting colds (cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze and cough, wash your hands a lot, etc.)

Ditto what pp1 said.

At least one of my family of four has been sick since last Fall. Two of us on antibiotics now!
