The common cold is as common as white bread. Everyone has had several versions of the cold, so we can all agree it’s not fun. The runny noses, cough, sore throat, and pounding head - what a miserable time!

Did you know there are 200 respiratory viruses? That’s a lot of virus! With all the viruses floating out there, what can we do to ward off, or at least minimize, the effects of the common cold?
