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.
But how long does the common cold last? According to Dr. David Frankel, a family medicine resident with the Family Health Clinic at Advocate BroMenn Medical Center in Normal, Ill., the average cold lasts from three to ten days or up to two weeks. This time period is when someone is most likely to spread illness to others.
