HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are experiencing frequent cough/colds then you may need to boost your immune system.
This can be improved by using a wide ranging of fruits and vegetables and also using multivitamins.
Cough/cold is not spread with contact with dust but from other infected persons.
Dust can cause allergies that may cause sneezing, nasal congestion, cough.
I hope this helps
