The common cold is caused by a virus. The name of the virus is Rhinovirus. The medical term "rhino" (derived from Greek) refers to the nose. Colds begin in the nose and sinuses and move through the upper respiratory system. That is why you sneeze, have a runny nose, cough and have a feeling of stuffiness and headaches. Sometimes a cold will allow you to get secondary bacterial infections, like bronchitis or otitis media (ear infections), but the main parts of the body affected by a common cold virus are the mucous tissues in the nose, sinuses, throat, and upper airway. See the related questions below for more information on how to protect yourself from common cold viruses.
