How long does a cold last?


Rate This Answer

Although some colds can linger for as long as 2 weeks, most clear up within a week. It may be longer if you are a smoker. ChaCha!

The entire cold is usually over all by itself in about 7 days, with perhaps a few lingering symptoms (cough) for another week.
