Researchers at the University of Georgia analyzed the results of 19 studies on acute coughs (i.e. acute bronchitis or the common cold) and found quite a discrepancy between when you think symptoms fade (7 to 9 days), and when they actually fade: 17.8 days. Advertisement.
This is when you're most infectious, although you may still be infectious until your symptoms have gone. In adults and older children, cold symptoms usually last about a week, although a cough may last up to three weeks. Colds tend to last longer in children up to the age of five, typically around 10-14 days. Flu is usually infectious a day before symptoms start and remains infectious for about five to six days.
