Yes that's right. cold is caused by a virus which is easily defeated by our immune system and doesn't require antibiotic therapy as the symptoms disappear after 1 to 3 days Unlike flu which is caused by influenza virus which is difficult to be neutralized by our normal immunity so it takes longer time to be healed and it require bed rest and antibiotic therapy as prophylaxis from secondary bacterial infection.
