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.

I do the same thing -- ZiCam is my go to at the first thought that I might be getting sick. I also take an extra Vitamin C. I've got my 26 year old son doing the same thing. Seems to be working for us.

Agree, Sue, and thx for reminder. When I thought I had a cold coming on, I was prescribed an antibiotic (whose side effects scared me). I decided not to take it. I didn’t end up having a cold. I’m glad I didn’t take the antibiotic! I was told to keep it on reserve especially if I’m traveling.
I also have some Standard Process supplements (I think one is Thymax) to take at first signs of sickness. But I’m going to check out ZiCam. Susan
