Head cold symptoms

• a stuffed or runny nose
• sneezing
• sore throat
• cough
• low-grade fever
• general ill feeling
• mild body aches or headache

• Avoid anyone who looks and acts sick. Ask them to sneeze and cough into their elbow, rather than into the air.
• Wash your hands. After you shake hands or touch common surfaces, wash your hands with warm water and soap. Or, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to kill germs.
• Keep your hands away from your face. Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, which are areas where germs can easily enter your body.
• Don’t share. Use your own glasses, utensils, towels, and other personal items.
• Boost your immunity. You’ll be less likely to catch a cold if your immune system is working at peak capacity. Eat a well-rounded diet, get seven to nine hours of sleep nightly, exercise, and manage stress to stay healthy.
