I have a cold and my sinuses are playing up. i am finding that i need to drink more than usual. is it normal to feel more thirsty with a cold?

Not unusual: If you're congested, you're probably mouth breathing, which can make you thirsty. Plus winter cold air is typically dry, and indoor heat makes this worse. Finally, decongestants also dry your moth & nose tissues. Listen to your body, & drink lots of water.
