Common Cold & Cough Specialists

What Is the Common Cold and When Should You See a Doctor?


The Common cold or cough is a viral upper respiratory infection that affects the throat, nose, and ears. It’s the most common contagious disease which becomes the reason for absence from school and work very often. The most sensitive people against the common cold and cough are those who have compromised immunity or children younger than six years of age because their immunity is not yet completely built.

People who have active symptoms of the common cold & cough become the carriers of its spread and through their nasal droplets, the virus can transfer to healthy people. Symptoms typically include a runny nose, sore throat, cough, and fatigue. Although unpleasant, it usually resolves in 7–10 days. To fight the cold and flu virus, a person needs to have strong immunity which can be boosted by having a healthy diet, some supplements like Vitamin C and Zinc, and an ample amount of rest.
