The Common Cold & Upper Respiratory Infection

The common cold and other upper respiratory infections affect your ears, nose and throat. Sneezing, runny nose and sore throat are the most common cold symptoms. While there is no cold cure, over-the-counter cold medicines and other cold remedies can be used to relieve symptoms. Since colds are caused by viruses, antibiotics will not help. A sinus infection can develop after a cold or from other causes. Sinus infections can be viral or bacterial. Antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial sinus infections.
