Did you have a cold twice in a month?

This month my father caught a cold. He shops in crowded places. His immune system is not great. I had a cold two weeks ago. I have all the colds that he has. And today my father is sick again, he stays in bed. He has another cold. I am trying hard to avoid this cold, but I can't believe that someone can have a cold twice in the same month. I can't remember when this happened. Did this happen to you? I wonder why something good doesn't happen by itself. We are healthy for a few days and we catch another cold. This is scary.

The cold virus is a champion at mutation and can change from one person to the next as it spreads. This is why some people catch cold after cold all through the season. It's also why there is no effective cure of vaccine for the common cold.

I've been nursing a cough and on and off fever this past week. It was only yesterday that I got better.
Hope you and your father get better soon.

I had been sick for months and months at times. But not colds.

Sorry to hear you catch cold twice a month. Thankful I seldom catch cold. Take vitamin C supplement. I'm taking Enervon C. Hoping your dad and you won't anymore have cough. Tell your dad to drink only lukewarm water or ginger tea. Massage your feet all-around day and night. Keep safe.
