The common cold presents with a range of different symptoms which may, therefore benefit from different treatments. The onset of symptoms after infection is sudden, reaching a peak at day 2–3, then decreasing in intensity. In adults and older children, symptoms tend to last about a week, although cough can persist for up to 3 weeks. In younger children, symptoms typically last 10–14 days.¹

This module will look at these differing symptoms, and appropriate product recommendations and advice you can offer customers.
