Symptom's of a cold could be:
Sore Throat
Runny Nose
Congestion
Cough
Sometime a Fever
These symptom's could last a week or longer if not treated. Sometimes with a cold we do not stop and rest and we pass our germs to each other. This is when hand washing and covering your cough comes into the picture, so that we do not spread our germs.
