Home Remedies for Common Cold

A common cold, also known as acute coryza, is an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract
caused by infection with common cold viruses. A common cold occurs more often than any other
disease - hence, its name. A person may suffer from a common cold several times in a year. A cold
usually lasts from three to ten days. The patient feels miserable for the first three days or so.

The initial signs of a cold are a feeling of soreness of the throat and congestion of the nasal
passages. Although the disease normally begins in the nose and throat, it affects all parts of the
body. Its usual symptoms are a running nose, sneezing, a rise in temperature, headache, sore
throat, chill, aches and pains in the body, and loss of appetite. The skin around the nostrils may
become sore.

A common cold results from exposure to the virus. Its intensity, however, depends upon the state
of health of the person and environmental factors. Low vitality, exposure to cold, lack of sleep,
mental depression, fatigue, and factors such as sudden changes in temperature, dust, and other
irritating inhalations are important contributory causes.
