Cold is a viral infection that affects the nose and you can catch a cold anytime during the year. Symptoms of cold include sore throat, nasal congestion, cough, catarrh, and aches.

Here are a few tips that will help reduce symptoms and provide relief.

  1. Rest: This will not only help relieve some of the pain you are currently experiencing but will also make you feel less miserable and helps your immune system fight off the viral infection more effectively.
