By any chance have you once been down with a cold virus? Perchance did you do away with the issue? Certainly you got over it! You can not treat a cold itself, yet your body normally develops immunity to a specific cold infection within a few weeks. We call that being healed by your own immune response!

Adults have previously had a lot of the runny nose viruses. Adults have actually developed immunity to the viruses they have had. Therefore there are not so numerous of runny nose infections remaining for adults to acquire. That is why adults just acquire a couple of colds annually and children get a dozen colds annually.
