Detailed explanation-1: -"During that time, it takes the immune system three to four days to develop antibodies and fight off pesky germs, ‘’ says Dr. Hasan. But if you’re constantly catching colds – or have a cold that won’t run its course – that’s a clear sign your immune system is struggling to keep up.

Detailed explanation-2: -People with a weak immune system have a higher risk of experiencing frequent infections and severe symptoms. They may be more prone to pneumonia and other conditions. Bacteria and viruses, including the virus that causes the infection COVID-19, can have a devastating effect on a person with a compromised immune system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Finally, there’s also research to suggest that your immune cells are more sluggish in cold temperatures than in warmer temperatures, which is why feeling cold or spending time in cold weather is more likely to make you sick.

Detailed explanation-4: -When you get a cold, your body makes antibodies against the virus that caused it. If you’re exposed to the virus again, the antibodies remind your body how to fight it. While it is helpful for your body to make antibodies, there are more than 200 different viruses that cause colds.
