I usually have a mild cold once a year, and a severe cold every couple of years. Mild colds are done with in about three days, severe colds can take up to two weeks to be gone.

I usually get about 2-3 colds per year if you are going Jan-Dec. They usually last about 2 weeks. I don't do much for them but try to get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids (I don't like to take medications of any kind unless I have to). If it gets really bad then I will try an OTC to help relieve it for a while. But mostly I just try to wait it out. Of course if anyone can tell me how to get rid of this cough I have had since the middle of October I would greatly appreciate it!

I get 0 or 1 colds a year, usually for 4 days.

About 2-3 a year, although I think I might have gone a full year last year without getting one. Mine always seem to start off in my throat and then travel around my head for about a week in full.

I don't allways get even one cold in a year, I have'nt had one yet this year. But on the rare occasion that I do get a cold, it usualy just ammounts to a runny nose, and passes in a anywhere between three days to a week.

Once a year is about it. Lasts about 5 days if I get on it quickly.
-
I get 2-3 a year usually. They last about a week.

Only once a year unless it is an unusual year. Some years, I get none.

Thank god, only about one a year. However, if I don't keep it off my chest I always end up with bronchitis.
