What is the consequences of the common cold?

Answer 1

The cold will eventually go away and have antibodies for the next time a cold comes. However, there are over 100 types of colds so the antibodies will only work for the specific cold that you got.

Answer 2

For most people it looks so far like they can fight it with their immune system without aid of other treatment. If they keep their fluid intake up, fever down, protect themselves from exposure to possible secondary infections and use over the counter cough medicines, most recover once the flu has run its course. If they have underlying disease such as adult Asthma, Diabetes or other systemic chronic diseases, or if they are pregnant, the risk is higher and treatment can help lessen the severity of the symptoms and treat any pneumonia before it gets life threatening.

If you or someone you know has the symptoms of the flu, be sure to stay home, wash hands frequently and avoid exposing others to your germs so you do not spread the virus.

These are symptoms that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest you contact a medical professional or seek emergency treatment:

"If you become ill and experience any of the following warning signs, seek emergency medical care.

In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

* Fast breathing or trouble breathing

* Bluish skin color

* Not drinking enough fluids

* Not waking up or not interacting

* Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held

* Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

* Fever over 101 F (or fever with a rash)

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

* Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

* Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen

* Sudden dizziness

* Confusion

* Severe or persistent vomiting"

Answer 3

Usually there aren't any. A cold is not normally a dangerous illness, and most treatments only address the symptoms; there's no actual "cure" for colds.

People with compromised immune systems could potentially die from a cold, but in an otherwise healthy person, they'll just get over it in the same length of time they would if you treated them with the best procedures known to medical science. They'll be a bit more miserable in the meantime, but they won't get better any more slowly.

Answer 4

Sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and maybe a cough.
