Colder weather means a few things: sweaters, snow, and
the sniffles. The common cold is a viral infection of the
nose and throat. Symptoms include running or stuffy nose,
cough, congestion, and low grade fever. Unfortunately,
there's no cure for a cold, but you should see a doctor
when a fever lasts multiple days or you experience
shortness of breath, severe sore throat, or sinus pain. If you
catch a cold, be sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of
rest. Practice good health habits like covering your cough
and washing your hands often.
