Common Cold
A “cold” is the common name for the upper respiratory infection that can be caused by any of more than 200 viruses. The virus implants into the membranes that line the nose and throat and causes them to over-produce mucus and become swollen and inflamed as the body mounts an immune defense. This immune response results in nasal and respiratory congestion, coughing, sore throat, sneezing and possible fever and body-aches.OTC drugs for the common cold only work to suppress the symptoms, and taking too much of them can stunt your body’s immune response and slow healing time.
