Getting sick

Well, I've finally gotten a cold for the first time since my diagnosis. I'm currently on kesimpta as my dmt and am just wondering if any of you lovely people have had any differences in getting sick since your immune system has been suppressed? Any advice for not getting worse? Thanks!
