    This document discusses the precipitating and predisposing factors for the common cold. The main precipitating factors are viruses like rhinovirus, coronavirus, and influenza virus. Cold weather and exposure to irritants can also trigger a cold. Women over age 20 are more predisposed due to biological and behavioral factors. Viruses enter the body through the hands and attach to nasal passages, causing the release of inflammatory mediators that result in common cold symptoms like sore throat, cough, and fever.
