Katarrh der oberen Luftwege, commonly known as the common cold, is a viral infection primarily affecting the nose, throat, sinuses, and larynx. It is characterized by symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough, congestion, and sometimes a mild fever. Caused predominantly by rhinoviruses, but also coronaviruses and adenoviruses, it spreads through airborne droplets or direct contact. While generally self-limiting and mild, it can lead to temporary discomfort and disrupt daily activities. Treatment focuses on symptom relief, emphasizing rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications to alleviate symptoms. It is a highly prevalent condition, especially during colder months.
