The common cold is caused by a viral infection and clinically, it often presents symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, throat discomfort, and coughing. Some patients may also experience mild fever, fatigue, headaches, and other symptoms. Currently, there are no specific and effective treatments for the common cold, and generally, there is no need for injections. This illness also has a certain self-limiting nature; even without medication, the common cold generally improves within about seven days. If the symptoms are significant, medications like compound cold medicine can be used to alleviate the symptoms of a cold.
