From the article: Common Cold Symptoms
The cold is the most common illness in the world. We have all had one at some point in our lives. Although every cold is different and may cause different symptoms, certain symptoms bother us more than others. What do you think is the worst cold symptom? Share Your Thoughts
Annoying tickley cough
- I have recently had a cold still getting over it I have blocked nose and cannot sleep as when. I lie down I end up having not stop coughing fits i take medicines warm drinks and cough sweets but no good so I'm constantly drinking. Sometimes I cough so bad I'm sick and sometimes I cough when I breathe in or out I just wish this annoying cough would leave me alone

What's wrong with me????
- I don't know if I really have a cold, sinus problems, or allergies? I need help! My nose is runny (clear and yellow icky stuff), my eyes are dry then watery when I am about to sneeze then my nose pluggs up shortly there after. What is going on? I've never had allergies before but I'm getting older and I don't know if that is what I have. I do cough a lot now on my 3rd day and congestion is definitely there. Also my teeth hurt, my cheeks are sore, and I am tired from lack of sleeping in my bed.

Snuffle sniffle
- I feel foggy, itchy and tired and an overactive lymph node under the left side of my chin is swollen. Per the doctor it's just a bad cold and it will 'go away eventually'. Right now I just want to leave work and go back to my nice warm bed with a good book and some hot tea or soup. Bleach!

- I had the worst cold of my life while I was pregnant with Dylan and I swear, I've never been so deperssed and miserable. Pregnancy just sucks in general for people with sinus issues (seems like the first clear breath I took through my nose each time around was the day after my c-section), and being sick on top of that is so awful. Bigtime sympathies from me to you, and I hope you feel better soon.

Stinkin Cold
- I have the worse cold this year then I've had in years. It started with a slight sore throat and then a nose that wouldn't stop dripping. I felt like a leaking faucet. I went thru about 3 large boxes of tissues. I thought it was getting better by the third day, but all of a sudden i couldn't taste or smell anything. Yuck ! Now i'm going on day 5 and finally I made a dr appt. Hope he can give me some relief. After reading about everyone elses, sounds like we all have just about the same thing. The common cold ! Now we all have to look forward to the Early spring allergies ! Darn !

EXHAUSTED!
- Vaporizer plugged in, blistex tube in hand, VIX inhaler close at hand. . .can't taste a thing. Everything tastes like cardboard, can't smell anything, so need to have someone else taste food to see if it has been seasoned properly. All I want to do is sleep, but restless/ antsy as all get out. TV on but Judge Judy driving me crazy cuz I can't remember where I put the remote to change the channel. Bet it's burried under the mound of kleenex I have had to keep using cuz my nose won't stop running; can't read, cuz my eyes are hurting cuz I'm so tired from lack of sleep

Ah ah ahhchooo!
- I am like a tap on full at the moment all my tissues are disintegrating from either my streaming nose or watering eyes ... don't want to get my tissues mixed up! I keep getting mahoosive sneezing fits like thirty one after another. I'm so tired and lethargic but when I lay down my stuffy nose means i can't breathe so I'm stuck upright drinking warm fluids to keep me hydrated. I have lost all sense of smell and taste as well having a pounding headache, my body is so cold i keep getting all shivery, hoping the tonsils aren't going to start playing up ... I want my health back!

Save me from this torture
- For the past few days, I have been plagued with the most hellish cold I have ever come into contact with. I have to stick a tissue under my nose LITERALLY every two minutes, and I have to keep moving and make sure my head is elevated, otherwise my sinuses fill right back up! I hate it! I also keep crying because my nose keeps tingling, and I have MONSTER bags under my eyes because I have been so sleep-deprived. I know that tomorrow morning is going to either be the morning where I wake up almost 100% cured from it all, or it is going to be that type of morning where I wake up, and my symptoms have gotten 10x worse....Here's to hoping for the first one!

Cold or flu
- I had my flu shot 4 months ago, I now have a sore head, a cough which brings up clear flem and running nose. No fever yet.

aweful
- My lips and nose are rubbed raw from blowing my nose constantly. Every time I breath in or out, it feels like my throat is on fire and it tries to close off. It's like there's a big infected hole between my nose and throat that burns when air passes over it. I can barely talk. I work in food service and you can't call in sick unless you are in the hospital or you have someone to cover your shift. It's embarassing having people get irritated I can't talk louder. I'd rather them be irritated that I'm sick and making their food so I can go home.

The most miserable cold
- The third day of having my cold and I feel like i'm gonna go crazy. I'm so stuffed up that my head feels like it's going to explode. My nose is burning, throat is swollen and painful. Headache and no energy, ears are bothering me nonstop. Trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and my chest is congested therefore i'm coughing. I WANT THIS TO BE OVER!!!
