Cold symptoms usually start 2 or 3 days after a person has been exposed to the virus. People with colds are most contagious for the first 3 or 4 days after the symptoms begin and can be contagious for up to 3 weeks. Some of them are
- Sneezing.
- Runny nose.
- Cough.
- Sore throat.
- Headache.
- Nasal congestion.
- Fever (most common in children).
Both a cold and the flu share a few common symptoms. People with either illness often experience a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, fatigue or general tiredness, chills, body aches, low-grade fever, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing deeply.
