How long does cold lasts ?

You get a cold when you have an infection of the nose and throat. In the home, classroom, and workplace, it is easily transmitted to others. There are around 500 different viruses capable of causing colds. The common cold is not curable, but it usually passes in seven to 12 days. Sick people tend to become dehydrated easily. It can be difficult to swallow when you have a sore throat. Your body loses moisture when you have a fever. In addition, your body loses fluid while making mucus and draining it. Are you also taking an over-the-counter cold medicine to dry your head? This can cause your body to become dry as well.

What is the duration of a cold:
•  Make sure you drink plenty of juice, water, and soup. This liquid not only benefits your health but also helps loosen mucus from your nose and head.
•  You should stay away from alcohol, caffeine, and coffee if you're looking for something to sip on.
•  You can feel miserable when you are down with a cold, and it saps your energy.
•  The symptoms of a sore throat, stuffy nose, runny eyes, and a cough can really interfere with day-to-day activities.
•   Colds include upper respiratory tract infections such as those affecting the nose and throat.
•  Colds of the head, such as the common cold, are different from colds of the chest.
•  Colds of the chest affect the lower airways and lungs and cause chest congestion and mucus to be coughed up.

Colds last for a long time:
•  When can you expect to feel better if you have caught a cold? Is there anything you can do while you're waiting for that to happen?
•  We'll cover these answers and more in this article. It is easy for people to grab colds. It is necessary for the virus to enter your mucous membranes - the moist lining of your nose, eyes, or mouth - in order for you to become infected.
•  Touching a surface or breathing in moist air containing a cold virus causes that to happen.
•  It usually takes several days for cold symptoms to become apparent. An allergy can develop quickly, and it can last as long as you are exposed to the allergen.
•  Colds can give you aches and pains and a fever, but colds tend to cause coughs, runny noses, and sneezing.
•  A sick person, for example, releases droplets of fluid containing a cold virus into the air when sneezing or coughing. The cold virus is brought into your body when you inhale those droplets.
As well as touching surfaces when sick, you can leave virus particles behind. The virus can enter someone's nose, eyes, or mouth if they touch that surface and do the same thing to their own. The ability of zinc to cure colds has also been touted, but again, the empirical evidence is weak. The nasal spray with zinc has also resulted in some people losing their sense of smell. So better to avoid it. For another 8 to 10 days, your congestion is likely to persist as your cold runs its course. It is likely that your nasal discharge will turn yellow or green during this time. When your body is actively fighting an infection, your discharge will turn yellow or green. Other symptoms may include fatigue or a lingering cough. This cough can sometimes persist for several weeks. The problem with natural treatments is not just that they don't work. Viruses do not respond to antibiotics either, since these illnesses are caused by viruses. Treating a cold is most effective when you manage the symptoms. Antibiotics should not be taken if you have a sinus infection or strep throat.
