Symptoms of a cold usually peak within 2 to 3 days and can include:
- Sneezing.
- Stuffy nose.
- Runny nose.
- Sore throat.
- Coughing.
- Mucus dripping down your throat (post-nasal drip)
- Watery eyes.
- Fever (although most people with colds do not have fever)
The four main types of coughs are:
wet, dry, paroxysmal and croup. Most coughs do go away on their own. Home remedies and over-the-counter cough medicines can help relieve symptoms.
