In general, colds last for 7-14 days, but symptoms may not last that long. Also, there are MANY "common cold" viruses, and each one may present different severity and length of symptoms.

7 - 10 days is average but coughing etc. can last longer. If it's longer than two weeks or you continue to have a sore throat, got to the doctors as it could be strep or sinus infection. I find that colds do clear up much faster if I make it a point to get to bed really early and add several hours to my normal sleep time every night, same with my daughter and husband. Feel Better!

5-7 days. If you dislike medications, a very strong tea made from red pepper flakes will alleviate chest congestion. I use it often.

I had to answer this one. For me it is about a week. If you drink plenty of liquid, and take a lot of over the counter medications and home remedies, it only takes about 7 days! LOL

7 - 10 days. Colds are caused by viruses and cannot be treated with any antibiotic.

7-10 days. Longer if your immune system is down.
