A cold primarily affects the upper respiratory tract but can also impact the lungs. The inflammation and mucus production associated with a cold can lead to symptoms like coughing and wheezing, as the airways become irritated. In some cases, especially in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, a cold can exacerbate issues like Asthma or bronchitis, making breathing more difficult. Overall, while the lungs may not be the primary target, they can still be affected by the body's response to the viral infection.
