The common cold is a virus.

There are multiple strains of this virus. Anyone who is infected by a strain to which they have not already been exposed will become ill. Once you have recovered your body will have adapted to that particular strain and will be able to fight it immediately should it ever attempt to infect you again. However, you will still be susceptible to "catching" a new strain.

Science does not yet know of a way to destroy a virus without also destroying the cell it has infected and so there is no "magic cure" for a cold.
