The common cold might occur due to low immunity and can further affect the health of the person adversely, particularly if it affects a child. When the body fights against bacteria, viruses, and other external influencers, the immune system can show symptoms of the common cold and fever in response to the attack against the allergens. However, those who are already having weak immunity can suffer in the long run as the immune system loses its capacity to fight against the recurring cold. Generally, people opt for home remedies to treat frequent colds or choose over-the-counter antibiotics or antiallergens. However, when the cold is due to genetic or allergic reasons, it gets difficult to manage.
