## Summary

The common cold is an infectious disease [1]. It is caused by viruses that affect the upper respiratory tract, leading to symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, and cough. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. There is no specific cure, and treatment focuses on relieving symptoms. Recovery typically occurs within seven to ten days without medical intervention.
