A cold is usually never a cause for concern and can be easily treated with cough and cold medicines, as well as getting plenty of rest, keeping warm and drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration. The cold virus is very infectious and can be easily spread to others through coughs and sneezes which disperse the germs. A cold can start spreading from before the infected person starts to experience symptoms and the person remains infectious until the symptoms have finished. The best methods to avoid catching a cold are to maintain good hand hygiene, not sharing towels or household items with someone who is suffering with a cold and avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
