   Cleaning:

   Wipe down the following with anti-bacterial type wipes: Door knobs (esp bathrooms), drawer handles, your computer, the desk you work on, light switches, the handle of the kettle and the handle of the fridge.

   Other things (apart from cleaning):

   Make you stay warm – keep checking your body temperature.

   Buy something like lemsip (hot drinl for cold and flu) or buy http://www.healthchemist.co.nz/nasal-sprays-drops/vicks-first-defence-micro-gel-nasal-spray-15ml-p2246848.html

   Buy throat lozenges (honey and lemon ones). Make sure you keep blowing your nose so that you dont get a head cold (if you are feeling stuffy). Drink LOTS and LOTS of water.

   Try and make, then drink the following: Hot water, with squeezed lemon (1 teaspoon) with 1 tablespoon honey. Drink lots of this.

   Have LOTS of fruits – buy vitamin C tablets (you can also buy chewable ones). Or buy these tablets (or something similar to them): http://www.chemist.co.nz/product.cfm?ProductID=5347&GroupID=1&CategoryID=149&SubcatID=16 Its honestly really good.

   Drink lots of Echinecea tea (tastes nice too).

   If you do start to feel a bit sick, rest HEAPS – just sleep for a few hours. Make sure you nap everyday for 1 hour so that your body rests. Do this for 3 days.

   These are just precautions that I recommend to avoid getting the cold – or at least reduce the symptoms or decrease the duration of the cold.

   Oh andd, gargle warm water (mixed with salt) 2 or 3 times a week
