Severe cases of respiratory illnesses are being reported across the country, but doctors say it’s not COVID, it’s the cold.

With symptoms that feel more severe and sickness lasting a lot longer, many say this year, there’s nothing common about the common cold.

With children back in school and a lot of us doing more things inside as temperatures drop, doctors only expect these upper respiratory cases to increase. They’re also already starting to see the flu a lot earlier than usual.
