The term “cold” first appeared in the 16th century due to the similarity of its symptoms to those of exposure to cold weather.
The Medical Research Council established the Common Cold Unit (CCU) in the United Kingdom in 1946, and it was there that the rhinovirus was discovered in 1956.
When you get a cold, it means you have a viral infection in your upper respiratory tract. More than 250 viruses have been identified by doctors as potential causes of the common cold.
