The virus can spread through droplets in the air when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. But it also spreads by direct contact with someone who has a cold or by using shared things, such as utensils, towels, toys or telephones. Touch the eyes, nose or mouth after such contact or exposure, the person must catch a cold.
There are some tips for prevention of common cold. If people will follow them they can save from illness. • Drink lots of liquid: Human body naturally needs eight glasses of water a day. Human body needs water to function efficiently and it can fight off disease better. Water, juice, tea and warm soup are all good choices.
