Common cold  is caused by the infection of a virus that affects the nose, throat and sinuses. There are about 100 different types of viruses in the air and children or infants are especially prone to them because of their developing immune system, which isn’t immune to most of the cold viruses yet. Once they get cold they become immune to that virus so as children grow older, they get fewer colds.

Running noses are typical of colds, followed by nasal congestion, sneezing and sore throat. These symptoms are seen 2-3 days after infection.  Colds usually last for 10 days but can also last till 2 weeks. Sometimes a mild fever accompanies the cold and children may be more tired than usual with low appetite, these infections generally don’t require much treatment and go away on their own.
