Colds are caused by tiny particles cal ed viruses. They can float around in the air that we breathe, and sit on things we touch. When these viruses get into your nose and throat, they give you a sore throat, or a headache, or a clogged nose -- or even al three at the same time!

A cold can move very quickly from you to your friends. If you touch your friends when you have a cold, or sneeze or cough near them, they too wil fal sick. Did you know that a single cough or sneeze can shoot your nose and throat viruses 12 feet through the air? How terrible!

This is how you can avoid catching a cold: Stay far away from anyone who has a bad cold.

If you meet or shake hands with someone who has a cold, wash your hands well . Otherwise, the virus will travel from your hands to your nose.

Do not share drinking glasses, eating utensils or clothes with someone who has a cold.

Eat lots of vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, exercise, keep warm and stay healthy!

Sniffles

Divya has sniffles but she has to play in the Football Cup, she plays with her friends, all her friends get sniffles
