. make sure the A/C (if you have one) is not tooooooo cold.
. keep out of drafts
. my mom used to "bake the cold out of me" , give me a nice book and sit me in the sun for awhile each day..not to the point of sweating but to warm me up
. just like in winter, keep washing your hands.
. drink vit c , eat all the nice summer fruits, eat healthy
AC actually makes me stuffier, so I avoid it when I can. I can't do it now bc of the beta blockers, but I used to sweat out the summer colds. Then I'd drink a tea of echinacea, lemon, and ginger. That always helped. I had a housemate in college who would treat every illness with the "sweat it out" mentality, he was very healthy and a great athlete. A little hard on his housemates though -- LOL! -- he'd ride is stationary bike for HOURS, grunt, groan, sweat and stink up the whole house! LOL! Luckily, we were all college athletes, so we could handle it ok.
