You can get a cold year round. There are more than 200 different strains of “cold” viruses, mainly made up of rhinoviruses. The average adult in the US will get 2-4 colds per year. The average child will get 6-8. These types of viruses usually are associated with mild symptoms. Up to 25% of infected people won’t show any symptoms at all.

When a cold strikes, you may have symptoms like:

Scratchy or sore throat

Sneezing

Stuffy nose

Watery eyes

Mucus draining from your nose into your throat

More severe symptoms, such as high fever or muscle aches, may be a sign that you have the flu rather than a cold.

Steps to protect yourself.

Wash your hands often with soap and water
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
Stay away from people who are sick

Prevent spreading your cold.

Avoid close contact with others, such as hugging, kissing, or shaking hands
Move away from people before coughing or sneezing
Cough and sneeze into a tissue then throw it away, or cough and sneeze into your upper shirt sleeve, completely covering your mouth and nose
Wash your hands after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
