I am very susceptible to common cold and whenever there is a slight change in the temperature I catch a cold. I get sick too easily. Now I am suffering from cold again. This has also caused a slight fever. I usually sleep late at night and doctors have told me that it also causes cold.
Do you guess know any remedies for this? How can I avoid this in the future?

I suggest you take a steam bath with some turmeric and inhale through the nose as long as you can.Do it twice a day in the morning and in the evening.I hope this will help cure "common cold".Another suggestion is not to use the medicines for cold.They are not good in the long run to your body.

common cold for sure it leads to fever, headache and running nose and throat infection, to avoid all this one can go ginger and tulsi tea and added some cloves. Steaming again is the best way to go during commom cold and you can also go gor gargle while going for sleep.and when you get up in the morning.
And lots of water intake is must.

Hi biman, well there is no cure for the common cold or no one would ever catch them. Nor can you catch them from getting wet, cold or sleeping late. You can only catch a cold from someone elses germs so avoid getting into the air space of someone who has one. Of course if you're run down from not looking after yourself properly it will probably hit you harder when you do get one.
Honey in hot water will soothe your throat.

Usually, common cold is caused by a virus.
As you have said above, sleeping late at night is a reason that causes cold. Yes, you'd better have a good rest and go to sleep on time. The best way of curing for the common cold is with a vaccine. Of course, you can do some sports to build your body and then you can keep healthy even if there is a slight change in the temperature again.
Have a nice day!
