Commonly, you will start to get a stuffy or runny nose and coughs and sneezes. So, if you feel anything coming on like a sore throat, it hurts to cough, you are sneezing frequently, get tired and can't sleep, you feel dizzy when you get up after sitting, you should consult your health care professional for a diagnosis and treatment before it gets worse. (Note: antibiotics are not effective in treating a cold, they are only for bacterial infections and a cold is caused by viruses, don't ask your doctor for antibiotics for a cold.) You usually just have to ride it out over the 7 - 10 day course until your body can cure the cold. Use OTC remedies for sore throat, fever, cough, aches, runny nose and congestion.
