• Contact with a person in cold
• Frequent touching of eyes, mouth, and nose
• Improper or insufficient rest to the body
• A weaker immune system 
• Spread of infection from surfaces contaminated with bacteria or virus

More often, colds are caused by viruses called rhinoviruses. When a person with cold sneezes or coughs, it spreads through the droplets dispersed in the air. You can also catch a cold when coming in contact with any surface contaminated with the virus.

It is more likely to get colds in fall and winter. However, against prevailing belief, the common cold is not caused by getting wet or cold and you can get a cold anytime. Seasonal changes may lower the body’s natural defense mechanism towards fighting against rhinoviruses, which may cause respiratory infection and cold.

The symptoms of cold and flu might vary with each individual based on the infection. 

Some of the symptoms associated with cold and flu include:

• Sore throat
• Sneezing
