I once asked my doctor if you can really catch cold from being cold, I thought you caught cold from germs, and he said that being cold suppresses your immune system and makes you more susceptible to the germs. In other words, being outdoors in the cold makes you weaker and then you can't fight off the germs as well.
Make a hot drink! When I have a cold, I like hot tea with LOTS of lemon and honey in it. I also put Vicks Vaporub on my chest. Do you have any? Go to bed and get some rest.

Get some garlic, ginger and some honey.Chop up the one clove of garlic and some ginger in the same amount as the garlic, put it in a mug or any cup you use for tea, pour hot water you have brought to a boil over it let it sit for about 2 minutes. put in some honey to sweeten it and drink up. Garlic is a natural antibiotic and ginger does something I forget what and the honey will help the taste and soothe your sour throat. If you don't want to do all that get some theraflu and get under the covers and sleep, it worked for me.

going out in the cold diminishes your immune system so you're suseptible to germs when you come into contact with them. also, I know that when I go outside in the cold it just makes my head fill up and my nose run as a reaction to the temp outside. I always wear a hat if it's below 50 or I get ear infections BAD.

Maybe you're just a little chilled to the bone. When I feel like this I will take some warm pajamas and throw them in the dryer, and put them on. Or, I'll take a throw and do the same. It's sooo cozy. It will take that chill right away.

You can't get a cold from going out in the cold. Colds come from germs.

No. Colds are caused by a virus. Have some chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich and call me in the morning.

A nice warm shower, rug up in some warm clothes then relax with a hot cup of tea or hot chocolate. Hope you feel better soon!

You cant get a cold from just being outside in the cold, you get sick from germs that could be present in the air

I suggest putting either your pj's or a blanket in the dryer then going for a nice warm bath, then cuddle up in your pj's or blanket with tea or hot chocolate
