The Common Cold

The common cold is one of the most overlooked medical conditions. Children and young adults do not take the simple actions to stay healthy and prevent the common cold. Many solutions are as easy as washing your hands before you eat, not sharing drinks with other people, or just keeping a far distance from someone who is already sick. The symptoms of the common cold can consist of runny nose, nasal congestion, sore throat, fever, sneezing, coughing, or headache. It is caused by bacteria and can be caught by someone who is already sick with a cold. Some treatments are lots of fluids, rest, over-the-counter remedies, and chicken soup.
