I am a mother of two kids 3.5 n 1p months old. I have a question to all the doctors. Ppl say common cold is s common n cures naturally. While I ahve seen with both of kids n myself it has a cycle which ia of runny nose 2 days, stuffy nose 1-3 days and then coughing for 6 plus days. I have tried curing them with so many home remedies but nothing seems to help. Everytime I have to take my kids to doctor either homeopathic or allopathic for one or the other phase of the cycle. Like coughing etc. Why is common cold not common nowadays.

I agree with you, common cold is not so common these days. The thing is we live in a tropical climate and lots of bacteria and viruses are floating in the air. This is why secondary bacterial infection of a common cold is frequent. This causes the symptoms to worsen and a course of antibiotics are recommended.
