Common symptoms
Cold Symptoms and Common Causes
The common cold is a viral infection of the nose and throat. Symptoms usually build over the first two to three days, then ease gradually.
Common symptoms
- Runny or blocked nose
- Sneezing
- Sore or scratchy throat
- Cough, usually mild at first
- Low-grade fever, more often in children
- Mild headache or body aches
- Tiredness and a general run-down feeling
What usually causes it
More than 200 viruses can cause a cold, and a few routes of spread are responsible for most cases.
Rhinoviruses
The most frequent culprits, responsible for roughly half of all colds
Droplets in the air
Coughs and sneezes from someone nearby release virus particles you can breathe in
Contaminated surfaces
Touching a door handle or phone and then your face lets the virus in through the nose or eyes
Close indoor contact
Offices, schools, and shared homes make passing a cold on much easier
Lowered resistance
Poor sleep, stress, and rapid temperature swings between outdoor heat and strong air conditioning can leave you more vulnerable

FAQs
How can a home doctor tell whether I have a cold or the flu?
+
A cold tends to build gradually with a runny nose and mild symptoms, while flu usually arrives suddenly with high fever, body aches, and exhaustion. Your doctor examines you and can arrange a rapid test if the picture isn't clear.
What treatment can I expect at home for cold?
+
Your doctor may prescribe medicines for fever, congestion, and cough, and advise on fluids, rest, and saline rinses. The aim is to ease symptoms while your body clears the virus.
Can I get tested at home to rule out other infections?+
Yes. FRH provides lab tests at home, so swabs or blood tests can be arranged during the visit without a trip to a clinic.
Is a home visit available if my cold starts at night?
+
Yes. The service operates 24/7, so you can book at any hour, including weekends and public holidays.
I'm a tourist staying in a hotel. Can a doctor still come?
+
Yes. Our doctors visit hotels across Dubai, so you can be treated in your room.
