Speed Reading Course

What are myths about the common cold?

I read about so many “cures” for the common cold. I’ve read that there really isn’t a real cure but there are remedies and things you can do that actually speed up and help you get over your cold faster. Is this true or do you just have to let it run its course and suffer through it?

I think if you pamper yourself for a day or so you get over it faster.

Did you know that by the time you have symptoms, you are no longer infectious? In other words, the person on the train sneezing all over you can’t give you their cold any more. Strange, but true.
