I was that way for a long time too. Now I take a little different approach, at first exposure or hint of a cold I use ZiCam. So far I have managed to stay healthy through grandkids colds and sniffly friends. But my last 2 colds have been just that, no bronchitis, no pneumonia.
I would caution you against taking antibiotics for a cold - colds are viruses, which are not cured by antibiotics. Overuse of antibiotics when you don't need them can cause them to be ineffective for you when you do.
