No, it is not normal.  If you are actually catching cold once a month, then you may have a compromisd immune system.  You probably are not catching cold, but are experiencing allergy flare-ups, which can mimic the symptoms of a cold.\nAll 'colds' are caused by viral infections.  Bacterial infections can be secondary with a cold (pneumonia, for example).  Colds, being viral in origin, do not respond to anti-biotics, and for that reason, anti-biotics should never be taken for a cold.  Bacterial infections, such as pneumonia, do respond to anti-biotics.  Should your doctor prescribe an anti-biotic for you, be sure to take all of the pills.  Do not stop taking them just because you feel better.

Yes - sometimes! When you have a very bad cold - add a raw egg, some pepper & slightly warm rum - take a quaff - you are cured!\nWhen you have small cuts, minor bruises etc pour some alcohol over it - it heals fast!\nStomach aches - a peg or two helps!\n\nBut I advise you to use this only in minor infections or ailments.

No harm in taking dairy products but it should not be cold and sweet.

It was thought that drinking milk increased mucas which during a cold would cause more coughing but after testing this was disproved.\n\nhttp://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/28/milk_mucus.htm\n\n\nShould I stop drinking milk when I have a cold since it causes more mucus? \n\nThe belief has been held for centuries that milk causes mucus formation, although the few studies on this topic have failed to demonstrate any effect of milk on mucus production. Many people confuse the temporary, slight thickening of saliva after drinking milk with mucus. There is no scientific research showing that milk produces mucus in the airways or the throat. In fact, drinking lots of fluids when you have a cold is important in speeding up recovery. \n\nhttp://www.dairycouncilofca.org/dairy/dair_milk_main.htm#7\n\nHope this helps!  :)

No.  Being sick drains your body.  Still drink lots of fluids and give your body some time to rest.  Wait a couple of days before going back to your normal routine.

To get a cold, you need to get a version of a cold virus into the nose or eye ducts. Touching your nose is enough if you have touched a virus from something like a door handle.\nWorrying, and stress weakens your immune system, making you more susceptible to colds.\nAn healthy diet, plenty of fruit and veg, and water aids the immune system.\n\nIf somebody sneezes in your presents the best avoidance advise, is to temporarily breath through your mouth.\n\nChristmas is a common time for lots of people to get colds, partly because they are trying to do too much, it becomes stressful, partly because lots of people meet around that time, and cold viruses abound. People are most infectious before they have obvious symptoms.

Some people can eat or drink dairy all day and it won't bother them. That would be someone like me. :p\n\nHowever if you have been eating or drinking milk products you should be able to tell if it bothers you.\n\nHoney won't always help, it depends on the person as well.\n\n\nIt would be good to get voice lessons, but the reason you need voice lessons is because you need to learn how to sing on top of your air. I teach voice myself and Breath support is the number one thing you need to learn in order to help your voice. Posture helps too, but it all ties into breath support. It will allow you to sing for longer periods of time. You will also become stronger on the higher registers of your voice. \n\nThe reason warm ups isn't the magic cure is because You could sing warm ups incorrectly until you are blue in the face and it will never help your voice!\n\nIf you are experiencing a dry throat, the others are right, it is good to drink lots of liquids.\n\nIf you have anymore questions feel free to contact me! gatortenor27@yahoo.com

Well that really depends on WHY you're not supposed to. For instance; If you're allergic you could have a reaction such as your nose running. Or if you're to refrain from eating chocolate because you might gain weight then...you could possibly gain weight.

A doctor referred nutritionist told me that there is something in the soy milk helps stabilizes the female hormones to stop hot flashes, keeps hair from falling out and slows wrinkling of skin. Cow's milk causes excessive mucus and congestion and many times has excess antibiotics and hormones that can cause bad reactions with in your system. Some adults and children are allergic to cow's milk or have lactose intolerance. Few people are allergic to Soy products.

The cheese-making process removes most of the lactose from the milk, so cheese contains very little lactose.  Usually that small amount isn't enough to make lactose intolerant people sick.  I am lactose intolerant and cheese has only made me sick once, when I ate a lot of pizza that had tons of cheese on it.  Cheese can be a good source of calcium for most lactose intolerant people.

Cows milk and its products are bad for the voice.. things like icecream and fresh milk are the worst.  That´s why they say to cut them out when you have a cold because of it´s effect on your mucous membranes.

When you have a cold or flu you can get dehydrated more easily then normal. It also helps to thin the mucus so it gets out of your body as opposed to hanging around and clogging your sinuses and lungs. Contrary to popular belief, pneumonia is an infection, not just a mucus build-up in your lungs. People often develop it after a cold or flu.
