I sometimes get "colds" that really don't affect me much more then just having a bit of a runny or blocked nose and maybe a cough a couple of times every few hours. As this is only a very minor annoyance I don't count them as being a cold, but I get this at least every few months.
This morning I woke up with a blocked nose and a cough. The cough lasted about half an hour and my nose got a bit blocked sometime this evening but blowing it cleared it. This is not being ill. Having said that, this would be a bad time for it to develop into a proper cold!
A proper cold has me feeling more tired, if not tired all the time, alternate runny and blocked nose and sore throat, probably a cough and general feeling crapness and more find myself more likely to end up depressed.
