📖What is Cough and Cold?

Cough and cold refers to the common combination of a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, sore throat, and cough caused by a viral upper respiratory infection. Symptoms typically build over a day or two, peak within a few days, and resolve on their own within one to two weeks. It is one of the most frequent reasons for routine doctor visits, especially in children.
