Detailed explanation-1: -Viruses that cause colds can spread from infected people to others through the air and close personal contact. You can also get infected through contact with stool (poop) or respiratory secretions from an infected person.
Detailed explanation-2: -A cold virus enters your body through your mouth, eyes or nose. The virus can spread through droplets in the air when someone who is sick coughs, sneezes or talks. It also spreads by hand-to-hand contact with someone who has a cold or by sharing contaminated objects, such as eating utensils, towels, toys or telephones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Experiencing more than one cold during cold season is pretty common, so does that mean that it’s possible to have two colds at the same time? In short, yes-but if you’ve been feeling sick for a long time, it’s likely one cold after another, rather than multiple colds at the same time.
