Can someone advise me on how to prevent illness when going abroad?

Every time I go on holiday, I seem to get ill. It's not like just a simple cold haha.

Last year I had double pneumonia and ended up in a hospital in Cyprus, for a week. The year before, I had a severe ear infection and perforated eardrum.

I'm only 23, and already feel ancient!

I assume I just need vitamins, so can anyone suggest any decent ones? Or anything else I can do to prepare.

Thank you 😃

    Make sure you have all the relevant vaccinations for the area you are going to but nothing will prevent you from day to day infections.
