For the cold sores, see if your doctor will prescribe you Valtrex. It will prevent them from happening.

As for not getting sick, try to sleep as much as you can.

Rest a lot and try to find healthy ways to relieve your stress. Stress depletes your immune system, so the calmer you are the better off you'll be. Also, get a flu short. I got married last January and I usually get the flu right after Christmas. Last year I got the flu shot and didn't get sick AND I haven't been sick since I got the flu 2 years ago. So now I'm a convert!

Try Lysine tablets and ointment to prevent cold sores. My dad used to get them all the time and BAD and my mom got him the lysine. He takes them as soon as he starts to feel a little tingle and now they don't have show up, they just go away.
