Suppose your bf or gf has a cold and you two live together, so there's a chance you will get it.

Now I have a cold, had a sore throat now a runny nose, when it comes to my immune system, I let it do it's thing unless I'm about to die. My boyfriends not even sick and he makes himself a cup of neocitran... last time we both got sick he ended up needing penicillin [he was drinking like 2-3 cups of neocitran/ day... I was resting and trying to breath through my nose] when I got better on my own, slow, but steady recovery... but I mean come on... or am I the only person who has been brought up in an anti-meds family; don't get me wrong I take advil when I get cramps or headaches, and antipyretics if a high fever won't go down, and yes if if blood is coming out when it shouldn't I get pills. At the point I'm at though, low fever, runny nose... I feel like the occasional ice cube, keeping myself cool is enough... I'm not too badly congested I can't breath... but anyway the question:

is it normal to preemptively medicate?

    I fucking hate getting sick. I take the entire medicine cabnet and shove it down my throat... I mean sure, medicine isn't good for your liver or anything, but shit... When I'm 60 I won't give a damn, ill just want to sit down and everyone to shut up anyways so death would probably be doing me a favor.
    I do take vitamins before I get sick though.
