If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, wh
y are they more frequent in the winter?Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to
stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片)such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms (症状).
