What is a cold?

A cold is a flu-like infection of the upper respiratory tract. Typical symptoms of a cold are runny nose, throat and headache as well as body aches or fever. We feel weakened and powerless. A cold can also be announced by other symptoms and deviate in its course. But with the right treatment, a cold can subside after just a few days.

Causes of a cold

There are over 200 types of cold viruses – and their number continues to rise. Basically, these viruses are the trigger of a cold. With a cold, you can lie down on the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and nose over the throat to the bronchi. A cold can be transmitted in several ways. Be it by cold people or from object to object. Already at the first contact with the viruses, it is hardly possible to prevent the spread of the pathogens in the body.
