The common cold is a mild viral infection of the upper respiratory tract, primarily affecting the nose and throat. It is usually caused by rhinoviruses, though other viruses such as coronaviruses, adenoviruses, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can also be responsible. Symptoms typically develop gradually and may last for 7–10 days. While the cold is generally harmless, it can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications in people with weakened immune systems, asthma, or chronic respiratory illnesses.
