I've got a mild cold that won't go away for about 4 weeks. The symptoms almost stop and than reappear. There is a cycle of sore throat, runny nose alleviating and returning. What could be the cause and how do iget rid of it? Thanks!

You have an ear infection, it's deep, so it doesn't hurt, it's just keeping you sick.

A low immune system. You should take a daily vitamin, and try eat a balanced meal regularly. Make sure youre getting enough fluids. Also, stay away from people who could reinfect you...carry around a hand sanitizer. I really suggest you take airborne....it really works! Follow the instructions.

This actually sounds more like allergies than a cold. I had something similar happen about 10 years ago, turned out to be adult onset allergies.
I suggest seeing a doctor to find out for sure.

Probally a low immune system,
Try taking herbal tea's they always take care of my colds if you have a couple cups a day..
I would do this even after the cold is gone and then it will build your immune system.
You can buy them at any herbal food store, or online..

You might have allergies or some type of infection. You can't catch the same cold twice. Go get it checked out.

my friend got strep throat on and off for two months! it was crazy, and she is a germaphobic! weird, right? i know. I think it was because she wasn't ever exposed to germs so she was never immune to anything.

unhealthy lifestyle. germs are like rats, they are scavengers of "garbage" in your body, and only show up when theyre is something there for them to feast on. you hvae heard of using maggots to clean wounds... same type of thing....that is why people who eat healthy and are healthy etc, rarly get sick.
