Adults suffer from an average of two to three colds each year, and unfortunately, once the virus has taken hold, there is no way to stop it in its tracks. This common illness must simply run its course, but managing symptoms effectively can significantly improve your comfort while you recover.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), women, particularly those aged 20 to 30, report more colds than men, possibly due to more frequent contact with children. Yet, the question of which gender gets more cold and experiences more severe symptoms is far more complex, involving a fascinating interplay of hormones, immunity, and social behavior.
