Not necessarily: There are over 100 different strains of cold virus- getting one doesn't protect you from the others. You had the misfortune of being exposed to a different strain not long after the first. But if your immunity was stronger you might not have gotten sick. Stress, lack of sleep & eating sweets & fried foods lower immunity. Vit c, a good multivit. & herbs like astragalus & andrographis boost immunity.

Maybe ...: In the winter months colds (viral nose and throat infections) are common and having 2 in one month is not unusual. If you are feeling particularly stressed, smoking, not getting enough sleep, not eating well, or not staying active you are more prone to getting colds and may feel run down. Addressing these issues will help but if these aren't issues for you, 2 colds in a month is common.
