Since your body would die, the cold virus would likely die as well.  Some argue that viruses aren't life forms and can't die, but that's a different topic.  Your symptoms would be relieved upon your death, so I guess it would work.

A "cold" is usually a viral infection.  These take about 3-5 days to be recovered from.  The best way to help your immune system get the job done is to have lots of rest, drink lots of fluids, especially water and just take care of yourself by not exposing yourself to other sick people so you don't get a second infection at the same time... which can and does happen often.

Viruses are in a nether world. They are neither dead nor alive, and they certainly don't belong to a phylum or a class.

The cold weather itself doesn't bring on the flu, it has more to do with the fact that there is less outside air circulating in the winter (because of closed windows/doors, etc.) and then people have a better chance of coming into contact with the virus.

You get a cold from a virus.  If walking on the beach will make you more susceptible to the virus then yes you can.

Good question! Sinus Infections are caused by bacteria infecting some empty spaces in your head called sinuses. There function is debatable but can get clogged with mucos and if bacteria are in there they can multiply and cause a block and build with fluid and cause an infection. They can be treated with Antibiotics. Colds are usually caused by a virus that infects your respiratory system and you have to just wait for your body to fight it off. THere are very few drugs for viruses.

There in no cure for a cold…because the main reason for a cold to happen is because your immunological system has a lower number of white blood cells destined to protect you from air born bacteria that cause cold. For example: you exercise, a great amount of white blood cells are destined to repair the damage caused by it, so theirs a hi risk to get a cold after you exercise. \nThe only thing you can do is take good care of your self and when you do have cold, wait for it to go away.

Never got one on my nose, but I had one on my chin before. Cold sores come from a virus inside of you, every time your immune system is weak, it can break out. It usually breakes out on the lips, because the skin there is thinner and therefore easier to break through, but technically you can get a cold sore anywhere on your skin.

They latch onto one of your cells. Suck out the DNA. Insert their own DNA and a new virus cell is born.

all viruses work by taking over the reproductive mechanism of cells and making them manufacture copies of themselves.  Frequently the viral cells put out toxins that cause various illnesses.  "Stomach" viruses do this in the GI tract.

A cold is an infectious disease...

No. Germs cause infections that cause the cold and flu. If there are airborn germs, you can catch them that way, or if you touch a doorknob after someone else, and they have the cold or flu, you can get it that way too.

Ok, firstly for a virus to infect someone, it must enter a cell type. cold viruses enter your nasal, oral or respiratory epithelium. (top layer) this is where the interaction of the virus and host (you) causes inflammation and your body's response is the symptoms of a cold.\n\nHIV enters a specific cell called a T helper cell (also marked, and know as CD4) this cell is crucial to your immune system. HIV is called a retrovirus as basically it converts it Genome into a length of DNA that incorporates it's self into the human T-cells DNA. So if, in theory you removed all the HIV virus from your body,  the virus can come back, as you immune system would make it!\n\nsound strange but one of the reasons its such a nast bug. While in the T cell it multiplies and spreads to other cells, then destroyes the T cells it's in.\nHIV can be monitored by two methods: virus count, and T cell count. Ideally you want virus count of 0 and a high T cell count.\n\nHIV can be combated using drugs, including a group called "reverse transriptase inhibitors" these slow down the rate that the HIV virus can multiply andincorpotate it'sself into you body.  So if have HIV, get a cocktail of antiHIV drugs, you can life almost as long as you would without the virus.\n\nThe main problem with HIV is as it attacks your immune system, it makes you vulnerable to all sorts of other diseases.

The common cold (also known as "acute nasopharyngitis") is a mild viral infectious disease of the nose and throat; the upper respiratory system. Symptoms include sneezing, sniffling, running/blocked nose (often these occur simultaneously, or one in each nostril); scratchy, sore, or phlegmy throat; coughing; headache; and tiredness. Colds typically last three to five days, with residual coughing lasting up to three weeks. As its name suggests, it is the most common of all human diseases, infecting subjects at an average rate of slightly over one infection per year per person. Infection rates greater than three infections per year per person are not uncommon in some populations. Children and their caretakers are at a higher risk, probably due to the high population density of schools and the fact that transmission to family members or caretakers is highly efficient.\n\nThe common cold belongs to the upper respiratory tract infections. It is different from influenza, a more severe viral infection of the respiratory tract that shows the additional symptoms of rapidly rising fever, chills, and body and muscle aches. While the common cold itself is hardly life threatening, its complications, such as pneumonia, can very well be.

It depends, there are so many.  Did you just get sick?  Then it could be complications from a cold virus...pneumonia, bronchitis, etc.  Long term conditions like emphysema, fibrosis, asthma require medical treatment for the rest of your life, most likely
