Overview
Symptoms of acute viral nasopharyngitis include runny nose, cough, and sore throat.
History and symptoms
The incubation period is usually around 16 hours; symptoms peak between the second and fourth days.[1]
- Common cold starts with sore throat. It usually resolves within 1-2 days.[2]
- Sore throat may be accompanied by fatigue and headache.
- Fever is not usually present. Fever usually points more toward influenza, not acute viral nasopharyngitis.[3]
- Then, nasal congestion, discharge, and runny nose ensue.
- Nasal discharge may cause nasal congestion, which interferes with sleeping and eating.[4]
Post viral cough
- Cough usually starts approximately after 4 to 5 days (along with the improvement of nasal symptoms).[5]
- Cough is usually milder than that of influenza.
Resolution of symptoms
- Symptoms usually resolve within 7-10 days.[6]
- Cough may persist for a few weeks after the resolution of symptoms.
