CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS OF COMMON COLD(viral Rhinitis):
The common cold is caused by a variety of viruses, with rhinovirus being the most common. Other viruses that can cause the common cold include coronaviruses, adenoviruses, and parainfluenza viruses.
Risk factors for getting a cold include being in close proximity to someone who is sick, having a weakened immune system, and exposure to cold weather. Children and older adults are more susceptible to getting colds due to their weaker immune systems. People who smoke or have respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are also at a higher risk of developing a cold.
Other risk factors include:
Lack of sleep
Stress
poor hygiene
exposure to contaminated surfaces or objects
living in crowded places
exposure to smoke or pollutants
a diet low in essential vitamins and minerals
It is important to note that, although colds are more common in the fall and winter, they can occur at any time of the year.
