The most common symptoms of a cold are:
Colds can be spread through direct skin contact, or through touching a surface that an infected person has touched (like a door handle). The cold viruses enter the body through the eyes and nose, so if your hands touch infected droplets and then touch your eyes or nose, you can catch the virus.
