I haven't had a cold in a while and I would like to keep it that way.
Its a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract and it really stops up my nose.
I know, that's the worst part of it!
The throat, sinuses and even laryx can become infected. 
That sounds awful! Especially when they last a long time.
It usually take about two days for the signs and symptoms to appear after exposure to the virus
Damn so you get it quite a few days before you even feel it.
I get the coughing, sneezing and headache most of the time too.
That's what I have always gotten and I have hated every minute of it.
For sure. It usually take 7 to 10 days to recover , but some symptoms linger for up to three weeks.
