Overview
Symptoms of acute viral nasopharyngitis include runny nose, cough, and sore throat.

- Common cold starts with sore throat. It usually resolves within 1-2 days.[2]
- Sore throat may be accompanied with fatigue and headache.
- Fever is not usually present. Fever usually points more toward influenza not acute viral nasopharyngitis.[3]
- After that nasal congestion, discharge and runny nose ensue.
- Nasal discharge may cause nasal obstruction which interfere with sleeping and eating.[4]
Post viral cough
- Cough usually starts around fourth to fifth day with the improvement of nasal symptoms.[5]
