What is a cold?

Answer by  steve12 (342)

What we usually call as cold in the medical term, is meant by the condition marked by weak symptoms of an infectious disease, most often caused by some rhino viruses, or some other viruses, which cause flu-like symptoms, but with easier symptoms. Mildly raised temperature, nose running, weak headaches, muscle pains, and sometimes cough, those are the symptoms of cold.

The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory system. It resolves approximately 7 to 10 days. There is no cure for the common cold. Symptoms that may present are sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion and usually presents with little or no fever.
