Does anyone have any advice as to how to stay healthy?
I’m back at college, and living in the dorms has been hard really hard for me the past couple years. I usually get sick every couple weeks. Last year it was worse because my roommate also got sick every couple weeks, and I’m sure we spread the same cold to each other more than a couple times. I’m rooming with her again, and I’m sick again. Nothing serious, but with my schedule this semester I can’t afford to be sick every few weeks!
With that said, what do you do to keep from getting sick?

coming from a person who is constantly trying to NOT get sick…
wash your hands…a lot…this is what keeps most colds away. use lysol on your furniture…wash your sheets and covers when you’ve been sick. if one of you is sick, maybe wear a mask. you can get them at any pharmacy.
airborne is great too. when max was in the icu we couldn’t afford to get sick, and if we felt something coming on we would load ourselves with airborne and the ickies would go away fast. drink your orange juice, and take your vitamins.
and get rest…that one is easier said than done in college though isn’t it?

Haha, yeah. Not sleeping is why I got sick in the first place.
I’ll definitely go ahead and change my sheets, though. I should try airborne, too. I’ve heard good things about it. Thanks!

I agree with the washing hands part. Also, don’t touch your mouth, nose, eyes with your hands ever. Along with the airborne my friend recommended colloidal silver. I found it at a local health store ~ it comes in a “squirt” bottle (like saline solution for your nose) and I spray it in my nose multiple times a day (maybe once an hour) when I feel something coming on.
