The common cold is a viral infection of your nose and throat (upper respiratory tract). It's usually harmless, although it might not feel that way. Many types of viruses can cause a common cold. Children younger than six are at greatest risk of colds, but healthy adults can also expect to have two or three colds annually. Most people recover from a common cold in a week or 10 days. Symptoms might last longer in people who smoke. If symptoms don't improve, see your doctor.
Chest tightness and the presence of a fever are signs that a bacterial infection may be present. In addition, chest-related symptoms that you attribute to a common cold may actually be caused by a primary bacterial infection. These symptoms must be evaluated by a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.
