Answer 1

The weakness someone feel during a cold can be contributed to a number of things. Decreased food intake, decreased fluid intake and electrolyte imbalance, body reserves being used to boost the immune response or create fever, and just plan not getting enough rest from coughing or compomised breathing during the night. Take your pick, or add them up.
