The common cold, also known as an upper respiratory tract infection, clinically can present with headaches. This mainly occurs because the onset of an upper respiratory tract infection is often acute, with patients typically experiencing varying degrees of fever due to viral, bacterial, or other pathogenic infections, which also leads to headaches of varying intensity, possibly even dizziness. In addition, patients may experience nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and general fatigue among other clinical symptoms. Therefore, it is very common for a common cold to cause headaches. For such patients, it is first necessary to identify the type of pathogen involved, and then provide appropriate antiviral, anti-infection treatments, and fever reduction. With these symptomatic treatments, the headache caused by the common cold will naturally subside.
