Common cold symptoms usually start between one and three days after you are infected by a cold virus.Typically, they last for about three to seven days. During the first three days that you have common cold symptoms, you are contagious. This means you can pass the cold virus to those you come in contact with.
Exercise can cut the duration of a cold in half and reduce the intensity of the awful symptoms. Exercise causes a temporary rise in immune system cells circulating around the body and this little surge may be enough to reduce overall upper respiratory tract infection by the common cold bug and decrease the stuffy nose, sore throat and overall misery of having a cold.
