Frequent colds

Is it normal to get a cold once every few months, when at college, away from home. Or most recently, I had a cold which lasted a week with a fever and stomach pains on one day. I completely recovered and now a week later, I have a sore throat with mild stomach ache.  Is this normal or is it possible I have some kind of immunodeficiency disorder?

It seems that u re under a lot of stress and may be u don't eat a healthy food. For ur frequent cold take vitamin C dissolve in water and drink once every day for 2 weeks, repeat every 3 months. Gargle with salt and warm water and repeat frequently for sore throat.

Could it just be stress from college?
