Everyone feels the horrible dread of feeling like they’re going to puke, or pass out. Every single person in the world goes through this feeling, but it may be more serious, or it’s an overreaction. Feeling this queasiness of not feeling well, you may have something wrong going on in your body, which you’re not exactly sure of. Although sickness and viruses may be deadly to the body, you can still cure and react to your common colds. Possibly not knowing what’s going on in your body is a good thing. On the other hand, it’s also a terrible thing. Most of the time if someone doesn’t feel well it may be because they have the common cold.
A common cold is a virus or disease spreading throughout your body and it interacts or mingles with your cells, until it goes away. Even though there are more than 100 types of sickness, or viruses that spread around the world, people mostly only get unwell at least 4 to 8 times a year (Common Cold, 1998 - 2012). This mostly happens during the winter season, when it is cold and wet. When you first catch a cold, you may have been with it for a few days, without even realizing it. The virus doesn’t take effect until at least 2 or 3 days later (National Center for Biotechnology Information). Normally, whenever you catch a cold or small sickness, you receive it from another person, possibly even a friend or family member. If you want to try your hardest not to take delivery of this illness, then try and stay away from someone that was, or is sick, until you positively know for certain that they have gotten rid of it. Another risk of becoming in poor health would be going someplace where there is a huge crowd, because of all the germs and illnesses that could possibly be spreading through the air. One other step you could take is to wash your hands constantly in case you touched someone that has a virus, or something that they may have touched themselves (MedicineNet).
While you are on your infection or condition, you will be hoping to find cures to get rid of them. One cure is eating chicken noodle soup. For the most part, that does help prevent it, or makes you feel better for a little while. On the other hand, taking medications might also help with the pain and prevent even more damage to yourself, if you have gotten worse. Lastly, another treatment you could try would be either gargling salt to help your throat if it hurts, or to drink lots of fluids, such as water, orange juice, milk, or anything else that might possibly help with curing your unpleasant cold (Common Cold, 1998 - 2012).
If you have ever thought or confused a cold with some other symptom, it might have possibly been an allergy, because they are closely similar. You catch shocking colds from other people that are sick, but for allergies, you would catch them from your other family members, when you were born. Normally whenever or wherever you have an allergy, it is most likely to be indoors or outdoors (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.) If you have an allergic reaction, you might have the symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, congestion, sore throat, headaches and possibly more (Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp). You can use medications to help prevent these affects of the body, but it may not always help. If you go to the doctors and they give you a certain medication, you must take it, to get rid of the reaction. The symptoms of an allergy and an illness are almost identical, but if you’re not quite sure which is which, ask a doctor.
Meanwhile, if you’re possibly feeling ill, is it because you have an allergy, disease, or something worse? Or is it just a simple common cold? If you feel unwell or appalling, it most likely has the results of you having a cold, in which you recovered from someone that has been by you recently. Most people would take medications to prevent the pain, or runny nose, but you can also just simply rest and take care of yourself.

It won't let me indent or anything for each paragraph. So I'm sorry if this is confusing for you.
