Taking vitamin C and nutritious food helps.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM

I have gone through your query. Taking vitamin C and nutritious food helps to gain immunity. You can take chewable vitamin C 100mg daily. Taking one citrus fruit like orange or lemon or grape fruit is also good. Take quality protein rich food daily. You can take eggs or fish or milk/milk products or chicken for quality protein. You need 1 gram of quality protein per kg of your body weight daily.
Avoid bathing in excess cold water. Cooling of body excessively can decrease your immunity. Bath in warm water if it is cold climate. Avoid exposure to dusty environment. Use masks if you go into such environment.

These measures will help you to boos your immunity and get good defence from getting cold or fever frequently.

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
