What Do You Know About the Common Cold?

Adults generally get two to three colds a year. Children are likely to catch four or five.

1、Do you think getting cold can give you a cold?

   Colds are more common in winter, but not because of low temperatures. The cold weather just means people stay inside more.

   People tend to congregate and be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from one person to another is through handshakes, through sneezing, or coughing on one another.

2、Is it bad to drink milk when you have a cold?

  Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties, so it helps reduce the duration of the cold but also it helps clear the mucus.
Mucus is the sticky substance that can make you cough and have trouble breathing during a cold.

3、Can chicken soup cure a cold?

  Dairy products do not cause increased secretions, but they can thicken the secretions. So it's possible that discomfort is somewhat more enhanced when you drink milk. But obviously, if you're a baby and that's all you drink, you should not stop giving babies milk.
