The annual onset of more than 200 different types of cold viruses has begun in earnest with the arrival of the cold season. 22 million school days and 58 million workdays lost as a result of nearly a billion colds each year. The most common way of catching a cold is via hand-to-hand contact.

The average child catches five to 12 colds per year, while adults average two to four annually. It’s easy for the entire family to get sick after a child comes home with a cold.

With more than 100,000 medicines and supplements now available over-the-counter, it’s often difficult to know which ones are the safest and most effective in helping relieve a variety of ailments that affect us throughout the year, especially during cold and flu season.

What you can do to help keep your family healthy:

Wash your hands frequently
Eat a balanced diet
Avoid cigarette smoke
Minimize hugs and kisses with family members who have colds
Do not share food, drinks, utensils, dishes, cups or towels with sick family members
Disinfect places that may contain dormant germs—surfaces, doorknobs and toys
