The common cold (also known as nasopharyngitis, acute viral rhinopharyngitis, acute coryza, or a cold) (Latin: rhinitis acuta catarrhalis) is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory system, caused primarily by rhinoviruses and coronaviruses.

Acute viral rhinopharyngitis, commonly known as the common cold, is an upper respiratory infection primarily caused by viruses, particularly rhinoviruses. It is characterized by symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, sneezing, and mild fever. The condition is typically self-limiting, lasting about a week or two, and is usually managed with symptomatic treatments. It is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets or direct contact with contaminated surfaces.
It is called by various names. Acute viral nasopharyngitis is one of the more common names. It is also referred to as rhinopharyngitis and acute coryza. It can also be called an upper respiratory infection or URI. But, it is mostly referred to as the common cold or referenced as an infection by the specific viruses that cause the common cold. Colds are usually caused by the rhinovirus (up to 40% of colds), or Coronaviruses (about 20%), but there are more than 200 viruses that can cause the common cold.
Viral Pneumonia IS the "scientific" name.
