Can a cold virus live on bedding for hours or days? my husband is sick and i'm trying to avoid getting my daughter and i sick if we can.

Cold virus : Your husband was even contagious in the preceding day and more so on the first few days, or at the earliest stages of his viral infection. You and your daughter have already been exposed. Keep your immune system strong by getting adequate rest, drinking adequate fluids and taking Vitamin C.
