Coughs and colds

Coughs and colds are viruses that are spread from one person to another.

A cold is a disease of the upper respiratory tract and its symptoms can include a blocked or runny nose, sneezing and runny eyes. A cold can lead to further complications such as sinusitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and chest infections.

A cough can sometimes follow a cold, or arrive separately as a reaction to food getting stuck in the windpipe, smoking or air pollution. A cough can also be the result of asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, heart failure and medications such as ACE inhibitors.
