How long does a cold last?

cold in a healthy person lasts usually 7 to 10 days after body fight the infection away

For me, it's usually about 7 days when you feel yucky, and sometimes a lingering cough can last longer.

the average length of a cold is about 7 days...and sadly there is nothing that you can do to speed up the cure, just eleviate its symptoms some and make you feel less miserable. i am guessing by now though, that its gone :-)

What do you mean by cold. If you mean it as a winter season, then obviously it comes and stays for three months and we call it winter. Starts from November and stays up to the end of January. If you mean the word cold as flu. Then it takes a period and goes when the virus die with the help of medicine or with passage of time.

My cold never lasted more than 3 days It is really annoying to catch cold and I will try out all the ways i could to remove it :P The best way of curing is to get enough sleep daily
