why cold occurs - #24525
I am wondering why cold occurs because I keep getting these annoying sniffles and a scratchy throat every time the weather changes. Like, last week it was warm and sunny, and everyone was out enjoying the park, and then bam! A sudden drop in temp and now I’m stuck in bed with these sore muscles and headaches. My friend said it’s probably just allergies but I’m thinking, could it be something else? Doc says it might be viral, but why does cold occurs in the first place? I thought my immune system was good, I eat healthy and workout...but it’s like every other month I’m sneezing and drinking tea like it’s my lifeline. Some people say it's just part of life, but I can't shake this feeling that there’s more to it. I read somewhere that exposure to cold weather can weaken your immune response, but is that really true? Like, can you actually catch a cold just because it gets chilly? If someone could explain why cold occurs and how I could possibly prevent it, I’d appreciate it! Just sick of this cycle, you know?
