sick

Everyone knows how unpleasant, uncomfortable, and inconvenient it can be to have a bad cough. Many coughs are caused by an accumulation of mucus from within the lungs, trachea, and bronchi which your body is desperately trying to remove from its system.

The common cold is an infection that affects the upper respiratory tract.  It is a virus that most often occurs during the Fall and Winter months.  It is not that cold weather gives rise to colds per se, but rather that the cold viruses tend to thrive more in colder temperatures.
