As long as they want to. :)
Some will last for a matter of a couple days, some will seem to last weeks. Usually when you have a cold that lasts for "weeks" or a month, it is because your immune system is low and you are more likely to pick up other virus' on top of what you may have had originally.
Just make sure you are getting lots of rest and fluids and wash your hands frequently.
Feel better soon!!
Happy Holidays!

7 to 10 days usually. Unless you're a man then if you get a cold it lasts a lifetime. That's according to most women.
Usually after 3 days it starts to get better. There's not much you can do about it. I usually drink a bottle of scotch and sleep through it.
Merry Christmas.

The common cold lasts for about 7-10 days from start to finish. If it lasts longer than that, pop down your local surgery for a visit with your doctor. It might be that you've developed a chest infection which can prolong your recovery time.

It also edpends on if it is a normal cold or a viral one.. You can get shivers and stuff likie flu and that can take ages. Other tmes if it is just a sniffle it can be over with in a few days.

Untreated, 2 days coming, 2 days here, 2 days going. If you treat a cold, the whole process lasts about a week.

It depends, for me they can last for a couple of days right up to a month if its a bad one. Theres no average, just depends on how unlucky you are and whether your immune system is up to scratch
