A virus causes the common cold. There is no cure or prevention from the cold. The bad part of the cold is the body fighting the cold. When these happen that is what makes you feel so bad. You want to handle the symptoms when they get out of control.

To lessen your chance of catching the cold, wash your hands frequently, avoid contact with those that are carrying the cold virus and keep yourself healthy so the symptoms do not get out of control.
