Have you looked into the effects of zinc supplementation of common cold frequency and severity? I am not a doctor, this is not medical advice, etc.

I haven’t but I could. The part where colds turn into pneumonia is due to a congenital issue (a surgically fixed EA+TEF) so that’s probably hard to do anything about except growing, but if the initial viral infection could be stopped that would be good. My saying trick for preventing colds currently is normally a lot of saying e.g “no! don’t lick elevator buttons!”
