I always have a flu jab but seem to get a cough every year around Christmas time. This year I picked up a chest infection which took two lots of antibiotics to clear. I had to take two weeks compliance leave at the same time - by the time I'd got over my chest infection it was time to go back to work

The fitter I am the less lurgies I get.
I also reckon Vitamin C and echinacea help - but that is probably psychological.

Dunno - I'm just getting over a cold, but her indoors has a permanent cough, then again ex wife did too - maybe I give off some kind of pollution.

I don't get colds/chest infections anymore since I started using first defence. In case you are curious it isn't a medicine it's a medical device,the key to it being it stops the germs from spreading in your respiratory system.

We never used to get things like this years ago did we? Are we just getting soft or are the bugs getting more virulent?
