Detailed explanation-1: -When you get a runny nose or a cough from a cold, these symptoms are actually signs that your immune system is working. Even after you start feeling better, your immune system is still working. Your body makes proteins called antibodies against the virus that made you sick.
Detailed explanation-2: -The blood vessels around the affected area widen when they get the message. This allows more blood to flow into the area and bring more white blood cells to fight the virus. As a side effect, these areas will become puffy, red and filled with fluid – otherwise known as inflammation, the painful part of a cold.
