As the name suggests, the common cold is anything but rare. It refers to viral infection by rapidly mutating coronaviruses or rhinoviruses. Symptoms can include sneezing and congestion, coughing, sore throat, body aches, chills, and fatigue. Colds typically take advantage of compromised immunity and generally appear when we are sleep-deprived, stressed, or rundown. While there is no instant fix, there are ways to support immune function, reduce sickness duration, and make it less uncomfortable.
