What is Common Cold?

Also called: Cold

Common Cold as the name suggests is a common ailment which affects each and every person on this planet. Common Cold is caused by a virus. It is highly contagious. You can get a cold by touching your eyes or nose after you touch surfaces with cold germs on them. You can also inhale the germs. Symptoms last for 7 to 14 days. As such there is no cure for Common Cold. Symptomatic treatment is given to resolve the symptoms. Symptoms of common cold include "Sneezing, congestion of the nasal passage due to inflammation, sore throat, runny nose and fever". Antibiotics have no role in resolving common cold but are prescribed to prevent any opportunistic bacterial infections.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
