Tiredness
One common cold symptom is exhaustion. Constant coughing, sneezing, body aches and nose blowing is tiring. In addition, fever and chills take a toll on the body. Even with regular rest, a person could feel tired for several days after their other symptoms go away.
The body needs the rest to fight the virus. Don't fight feeling sleepy with the common cold. Take naps and sleep longer to allow the body time to recover.
