When you catch a cold, you tend to feel miserable. You are tired of sneezing and blowing your nose all the time. When someone in your house has a cold, you are likely to get it too. This is because the cold virus spreads easily. When a person who has a cold blows his nose, his hands could carry the cold virus. This virus is then deposited on whatever he touches such as doorknobs, telephone handles or shower handles. people who also touch the surfaces of these things and then clean their nose would obtain the virus as well. To prevent your cold from spreading, here is a piece of good advice : wash your hands with soap and water frequently so that the cold virus would have no chance to survive.

There is no actual cure for the common cold. The medicine that you take makes you feel better but it cannot get rid of the cold virus completely. Most people tend to recover from colds within a week. When you have a cold, the best thing to do is to get plenty of rest. You should go to bed early and not over exert yourself. Your must also drink more water as fluids help to cool the throat and relieve nasal passages.
