Every one of us has experienced cough and cold in our lives. But the problem arises when we suffer too often. Though anyone can have cough and cold, children are the ones who are most affected.

Studies show that the prevalence of severe cough and cold (and other similar infections) bouts in infants and children can considerably hamper their academic performance in the later years. They may also have a delayed and/or subtle effect on brain function. For adults, this is equally irritating and it can be responsible for other respiratory diseases. Cough and cold can occur because of more than 200 different viruses, and their symptoms can range from mild to severe.

What is Cough Cold?

The problem of Cough & Cold is a widely prevalent but extremely irritating condition from which nearly all people suffer. It is clinically defined as a virus-induced upper respiratory tract infection. It can be a major problem that interferes with daily activities and may lead to other respiratory disorders. All the symptoms of cough and cold are the effects of our body’s natural immune response to the viral infection. It may be caused by viral infections, allergies and environmental factors.

Although the common cold is not dangerous except in newborns, it can wear down the body’s resistance, making us more susceptible to bacterial infections. It can also lead to more troublesome ailments like Influenza, Pneumonia and lung infections.
