There are many viruses that are the cause of the common cold which infect the upper respiratory system means that it infects the nose and the throat and sinuses.While maybe there would be a question rising in your mind about what is Sinuses .Let me explain it .
Sinuses : |

So sinuses are like empty spaces in the face that are filled with air and it is around the nose,cheeks,eyes and around forehead. Some of its uses are that they Clean the air that is breathed in through the nose and as they are filled with air so they make the skull lighter and it also make your sound clearer. So now I will discuss some of the types of the visuses which are responsible for the common cold .
So rhinovirus is one of the causes of the common cold.In 40 to 50 cases of the common cold rhinovisus is responsible for that. They are spread through causing or by touching the infected place etc.And its symptoms are :
- Runny nose.
- Sore Throat.
- Sneezing.
- Mild cough.
- Congestion.
So the adenovirus is generally a group of viruses that can be used to spread a variety of infections including the common cold. This virus can spread easily and it is the most common virus in children but it can also affect people of all ages.To prevent this virus good hygiene is much important.
Enterovirus is a common virus that can spread many infections including common cold and also this visus is can also cause stomach problems.It can also spread easily.It spread easily through dirty hands and also through coughing.it can be avoided in many ways like washing the hands.
When a person is infected of the common cold touches a place like glass and mouse of the computer etc and when a healthy person who is not being infected from the common cold got infected of it when he touches the same thing as the infected person touched.So wash your hands after touching the thing which is touched by an infected person who is have the common cold infection.
When a person with a weak immune system can be infected by the common cold easily because it will be hard for its immune system to fight with the viruses of the common cold .The immune system could be considered weak due to many reasons such as when you are in stress and also when you are having any disease like diabetes. Also, the immune system could be made healthier I mean it can made stronger by doing many things like taking balanced diet and also doing daily exercise etc.
