41.Do you think getting cold can give you a cold ?Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold ? Ranit Mishori ,a family medicine doctor in Washington ,says colds are more common in winter ,but not because of low temperatures .The cold weather just means people stay inside more .People like staying together and may get the common (普通的) cold virus (病毒) if they shake hands ,sneeze (打噴嚏) or cough near one another . Adults generally get two to three colds a year .Children are likely to catch four or five .Dr Mishon says people wrongly believe they can become protected from colds for the rest of their life once they get the virus one time . There is still no cure (治愈) for the common cold .But Dr Mishori says there are ways to feel better soon. If you get a cold ,you start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day .There is evidence (證據) that it might shorten the number of days that you will be having the cold .Dr Mishori says honey ,bears' favourite food ,can also help .She says honey seems especially effective (有效的) in children with colds . Have you ever heard the old saying feed a cold ,starve (挨餓) a fever.Dr Mishori says this is not necessarily a good rule to follow .She says if you have a cold but do not feel hungry ,then don't eat . According to Dr Mishori ,you have to drink a lot .You can drink water or you can drink tea - anything that gets into your body .That's very important . But what about drinking milk during a cold ?Mishori says ," Drinking milk during a cold possibly does make you uncomfortable .But clearly if you have a baby and that's all it drinks ,you should not stop giving the baby milk ."
