1. What is a cold?

A cold is a viral infection that can be caused by more than 200 different viruses. It's annoying, but this symptom disappears in a few days and recovers within a week. Colds can only be caught if they come into contact with a virus that spreads easily in dry air. This is why you catch colds more often in winter, and contrary to people's conventional wisdom, it is not the cold air that makes the cold virus spread well, but the environment where you are with many people in a warm space. Coughs and sneezes spread the virus into dry air and the virus moves in the air.
