Developing fever 3 days into a cold, that my whole family has had ... any ideas why?

Exposure to cold: Fever is uncommon in cold, but not impossible & largely depends on host factors such as prior immunological experience. Secondary bacterial or influenza virus infection are other possibilities. It can take 10 days or longer for cold symptoms to improve & antibiotics not needed.
