Acute Viral Nasopharyngitis

Acute viral nasopharyngitis, often known as the common cold, is a mild viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory system (nose and throat).^[1] Symptoms include sneezing, sniffling, runny nose, nasal congestion; scratchy, sore, or phlegmy throat; coughing; headache; and tiredness. Colds typically last three to five days, with residual coughing and/or catarrh lasting up to three weeks.

Yuk.  Damn you nasopharynx.

(what’s a “catarrh?”)
