It’s easy to diagnose yourself with a cold when you’re feeling unwell. But a cold isn’t always just a cold. It’s important to be able to tell the difference between the common cold (also sometimes called a head cold) and something more serious so you can get the medical attention you need. The common cold tends to clear up on its own in three to four days, says Melisa Lai Becker, MD, chief of emergency medicine at Cambridge Health Alliance. It starts with a scratchy throat, congestion, and runny nose, and then a cough usually develops. most head cold symptoms should disappear after four days. But the common cold can be very frequent and may hamper your daily activities. Build up your immunity against it with homeopathy.
