Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments Common cold causes Originally Published: October 16, 1998 Dear Alice, What causes the common cold? Dear Reader, A virus actually, about two hundred different viruses causes the common cold. Contrary to popular belief, we seldom catch a cold from airborne particles expelled when someone with a cold coughs or sneezes. However, we easily pick up cold-causing viruses through hand-to-hand contact with someone who has a cold or from objects (e.g., doorknobs) that have been contaminated. This underscores the importance of hand washing. Viruses act by infecting a host body's healthy cells and using those cells' reproductive machinery to make more viruses. At some point, the cells burst and die letting all the new little viruses loose to infect even more of the host's cells. The destruction of cells lining the throat and respiratory tract causes the sore throat, cough, and runny nose characteristic of a cold. Fever, aches, and fatigue actually result from the body's immune response to the virus. Alice "Wet head": Can going out with one make you sick?

Common Cold Description The common cold is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract, the nose, throat, head and/or chest. Most colds last about 3 to 5 days and will gradually disappear. Medical science has not yet found the "cure" for the common cold but there are some measures you can take to minimize your discomfort. Symptoms Symptoms of a cold may include a runny nose, sneezing, a sore throat and cough, a headache and mild fever, as well as general fatigue and malaise. Treatment No known medication will shorten the duration of a cold; antibiotics are ineffective against the cold virus and flu shots will neither help nor prevent a cold. Non-prescription medications such as decongestants, cough syrups and aspirin substitute can provide relief for the symptoms produced by the infection, but should be used judiciously and according to package instructions. Listed below are self-care suggestions for making yourself more comfortable during a cold and for preventing the onset of more serious complications. Rest and stay warm; increase your hours of sleep.

Colds are most prevalent among children, and seem to be related to youngsters' relative lack of resistance to infection and to contacts with other children in day-care centers and schools. Children have about six to ten colds a year. In families with children in school, the number of colds per child can be as high as 12 a year. Adults average about two to four colds a year, although the range varies widely. Women, especially those aged 20 to 30 years, have more colds than men, possibly because of their closer contact with children. On average, individuals older than 60 have fewer than one cold a year. The economic impact of the common cold is enormous. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) estimates that, in 1994, 66 million cases of the common cold in the United States required medical attention or resulted in restricted activity. In 1994, colds caused 24 million days of restricted activity and 20 million days lost from school, according to NCHS.

The Common Cold Cowell Home Health Education Program Health Topics ... Index The Common Cold What it is The common cold is an acute upper respiratory tract inflammation that is caused by viruses. A very large number of viruses can produce the symptoms we call a cold. Most cold viruses are rhinoviruses that can be found on various surfaces or in the air. Therefore, they can be transmitted via a cough, sneeze, or most commonly through contact with a surface exposed to the virus that produces cold symptoms. One is not protected against another virus or against the same virus in altered form a few weeks later. Symptoms Symptoms of a cold usually develop 1-3 days after the virus invades the body. Common symptoms include congestion in the nose, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, hoarseness, a dry cough, a burning sensation in the ear passages and often a sense of feverishness, aching and being run down. Secondary infections are usually indicated by pain, fever, excessive coughing or unduly prolonged symptoms. Treatment The old sayings such as "feed a cold, starve a fever" are not true. When you catch a cold, you cannot sweat it out, drown it, starve it, or take medication to get rid of it.

Quackwatch Home Page Vitamin C: Do High Doses Prevent Colds? Charles W. Marshall, Ph.D. (Edited by Stephen Barrett, M.D) Few things have stirred the imagination and hopes of the public in matters of nutrition or vexed nutrition scientists as much as Linus Pauling's 1970 book, Vitamin C and the Common Cold. [1] The book's main claim was that taking 1 gram (1,000 mg) of vitamin C daily would reduce the incidence of colds by 45% for most people, but that some persons might need much larger amounts. It recommended that if symptoms of a cold do start, you should take 500 or 1,000 mg every hour for several hours or 4 to 10 grams daily if symptoms don't disappear with smaller amounts. Without question, publication of this book, combined with Pauling's reputation as a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, has made vitamin C a best seller. When his theory was announced, millions of Americans rushed to try it for themselves. The second edition of the book, issued in 1976 as Vitamin C, the Common Cold and the Flu, suggested even higher dosages [2].
