A member asked:

Can a common cold cause a green stuffy nose, slight headache and neck ache for 3 days so far?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but: it can also be sinusitis or even mengingitis if your headache and neck pain are severe. If your symptoms persist beyond few more days, it is best to see a doctor.
