The common cold is a human illness that has existed since Earth's Stone Age. Main symptoms include sore throat, coughing, and either a stuffed or runny nose. This illness can be caused by improper protection from adverse weather conditions or from rapid, frequent chances in the environment around the victim.
Dr. McCoy noted that modern medicine was still searching for a cure for the common cold in the 23rd century. McCoy found a number of promising biological candidates on Omega IV that might lead to a viable cure. (TOS: "The Omega Glory") Mr. Scott also mentioned that the common cold was yet uncured. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
By the mid-24th century, the common cold was apparently cured, though earlier in the century it still existed. (TNG: "The Battle", "Ensign Ro")
