Managing the Common Cold 

The common cold is often underestimated, may seem trivial but can actually cause significant discomfort. Understanding its symptoms and knowing when to see a healthcare professional is essential for effective management. In this article, we explore the symptoms of the common cold and the signs that it is time to seek medical help.

Symptoms of the Common Cold:

Symptoms of the common cold usually appear one to three days after infection with a cold virus. Although most symptoms go away on their own within seven to 10 days, they can last up to two weeks.

The most common symptoms of the common cold include:

- Runny nose and nasal congestion : Fluid buildup causes the blood vessels and nasal mucous membranes to swell, causing congestion. In the first few days, the mucus may be clear, but it often turns yellow or green later.

- Sneezing : Irritated nasal and throat mucous membranes trigger frequent sneezing.

- Cough : A dry or productive cough may accompany a cold. It can persist for one to three weeks.

- Sore throat : A feeling of dryness and irritation in the throat is common during a cold.
