What is Common cold?

The common cold is when your nose and throat feel yucky because tiny germs are making you sneeze and cough.

Imagine your body is like a castle. The germs are like little intruders trying to get inside. When they sneak in through your nose or mouth, they start to cause trouble, that's the common cold.

When germs get into your body, they try to multiply and take over parts of your nose and throat, like tiny invaders in a kingdom war. Your body sends out sneezes and coughs to try to kick them out, it's like a battle!

After the fight is over, you might feel tired, have a runny nose, or even get a sore throat. But don’t worry, most of the time, your body wins the battle, and you get better in a few days.

Sometimes, the cold can make you feel like a sleepy dragon, you might snore a lot, or even wake up with a stuffy nose that feels like it's full of cotton balls!
