If you have a running nose or a cold, are you considered sick?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...maybe: A "cold" is a broad description of viral upper respiratory infections. That being said, runny nose and congestion can also represent seasonal/environmental allergies. To your questions...If you have a cold, you are considered mildly sick.
