Could It Be A Cold?

Beyond common cold symptoms, the body is excellent at communicating when something’s not quite right. Here are several surprise symptoms that could indicate you might have a cold – and a few signs you may have something else. It could be a cold if:  Your senses of smell and taste aren’t up to par.  You are thirstier than usual.  You feel muscle aches and pains in unusual places, such as the scalp.  You have particularly vivid or unusual dreams.  You find it hard to focus on a task or aren’t interested in socializing.  Your eyes are more sensitive to light than normal. It might be more than just a cold if:  You suffer from severe headaches.  You just returned from a trip, especially if you were abroad.  You continue to experience many symptoms after four days.  You experience a low-grade fever for several days.  Your symptoms are in one location, such as the throat or an ear.
