SYMPTOMS OF ACUTE CORRYZA/COMMON COLD
Although symptoms can differ, the following are some typical causes:
- a sore throat
- a cough
- sneezing
- a runny or blocked nose
- a headache
Rarer symptoms include:
- muscle aches
- shivering
- pinkeye
- weakness
- low appetite
- fatigue
If a person experiences more severe symptoms, they should seek medical attention because people with weakened immune systems may experience secondary infections like pneumonia or more severe symptoms.
CAUSES OF ACUTE CORRYZA/COMMON COLD
Symptoms of the common cold can be brought on by more than 200 different viruses, the majority of which are rhinoviruses.
A person with a strong immune system may not experience symptoms because the immune system fights viruses when they enter the body.
However, signs of infection will show up if the immune system is unable to combat the virus.
RISK FACTORS
Anytime of the year, anyone can get a cold, but certain things can make it more likely:
- being a child or an elderly person
- being susceptible to illness
- factors of the season, as colds are more prevalent in the winter
- being in close proximity to a sick person
COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE CORRYZA/COMMON COLD
Complications from a cold can occasionally happen and are most likely to affect people with a compromised immune system. Colds are typically not serious and most often go away after 7–10 days.
They include:
- Pneumonia
- Acute bronchitis
- Bronchiolitis
- Croup
- Middle-ear infection known as otitis media

Asthma and COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, can both have their symptoms aggravated by colds.
PREVENTION OF ACUTE CORRYZA/COMMON COLD
