A member asked:
Can physical activity lengthen the duration of a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: When you have a cold or any other infection, you body needs adequate rest and nutrition to recover. If you are exercising excessively during this time, you are going to prolong the healing and recovery from your illness. Plus you won't be exercising efficiently. You may even make the infection worse.
