There's no cure for common cold till date, not even vaccines to prevent it. While a majority of common cold infections aren't life-threatening, its symptoms including sneezing, fever, runny nose, etc, are enough for you wish for an effective 
pharmaceutical drug cure. Perhaps in the absence of a vaccine or a cure, prevention seems to be the best bet.
Tips to Prevent Common Cold
1. Frequently washing your hand is critical, especially after a visit to a public place, gym, or contact with a person with cold. Washing hands will wipe off the virus from your hands.
2. If you send kids to a child care or a day care center then choose those which have a policy of keeping sick kids at home.
3. Stay clear from cigarette smoke as it can irritate your airways making you more vulnerable to catching a cold.
4. Disposing off used tissues is important because they can easily contaminate surfaces they come in contact with.
5. If you've been in the proximity of people with cold ensure that you don't touch your face, nose, mouth, or eyes.
6. Keep your stress levels well managed. Studies have shown that stressed out individuals become more vulnerable to catching a cold.
7. If someone in the family is infected then try to use disposable items such as cups and glasses so as to minimize exposure to a utensil laden with a cold virus after being used by an infected person.
8. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle keeps your immune system intact and may make it better equipped to prevent a virus from establishing a cold infection. Your healthy lifestyle may include diet, exercise, rest and sleep, etc.
9. Often cold viruses can thrive for hours at a stretch on door knobs, drawer pulls, keyboards, light switches, telephones, remote controls, etc. As a result, it makes sense to keep these surfaces clean after use by an infected person.
10. Avoid persons afflicted with common cold from sneezing or coughing in your direction. Encourage them to use tissues, which need to be discarded ASAP after use.
11. When someone in the family has cold don't share cloth towels. While generally using separate towels is a healthy practice doing so during colds becomes all the more important. If possible replace cloth towels with disposable paper towels.
12. Avoid close and prolonged contact with a cold sufferer.
13. If any kids in the family have cold, make sure that you clean their toys after use.
Try you best, but if you catch cold don't worry consult your doctor who may advise you or may prescribe medication for alleviating the symptoms of cold and/or you may try alternative medication to make you feel better till your body is able to knock out the virus by itself.
