What it is common cold caused by?

Answer 1

The common cold is a viral infection that is usually accompanied by nasal symptoms, a sore throat, and oftentimes a headache. The common cold is spread through contact with an infected person, droplets in the air, and improper hand washing techniques.

Answer 2

Because the virus is so easily spread, it also changes all the time so your body cannot create defenses against it. Also, the virus spreads all over you body so whenever you take a breath, you spread it into the air.
its contagious so it gets spread really easily

Also your body can't make itself immune to colds, because there's so many different colds going around. That's why there's no cold vaccine - it's pointless because you'd have to get about a hundred different vaccines, then your body would probably get ill from them all and there'd still be some colds you could catch.

Answer 3

The reason you get a cold is because your immunesystem is low and therefore you are more receptive to different types of bacteria. So basically anything that brings down your immunesystem can give you a cold. But commonly getting wet and cold (in the rain or after swimming) is one. Also high stress levels makes your body more tired so therefore you're more likely to get sick. There are many reasons. But if you take care of yourself and take it easy you can usally avoid it ^^

Answer 4

A common cold (viral) doesn't cause other conditions, but a cold can weaken the immune system. Then a secondary bacterial infection can take residence in the sinuses (sinusitis), the ear(s)/throat, and especially in the lungs (pneumonia). The elderly or any person who is already debilitated can die from pneumonia that follows the common cold.
