The common cold is a very common disease of the upper respiratory tract that is not serious, although, even colds should not be underestimated. It is an acute viral infection that causes inflammation as well as an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity (mucosa), mainly characterised by swelling of the mucosa, the formation of mucus and nasal congestion. This results in typical symptoms. However, sometimes rhinitis can also occur due to an allergic reaction.
