A member asked:
Can you tell me if the cold virus is untreatable does that mean we are always infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, no: The virus runs it's course. We can treat the symptoms of the cold virus but you can't kill it quicker while it is in your system. You won't have an active infection forever.
