Perhaps the most common disorder of all, the common cold occurs when the respiratory tract is attacked by a viral infection.  The common cold lasts anywhere from three to ten days; the same person can be affected by it several times a year.  Children have been known to get anywhere from eight to ten colds each year, probably due to their exposure to other children at school and the fact that they don’t think to take protective measures when they are exposed to the virus.
