This might seem like a silly q but - is it possible to have a "slight" cold?

I sometimes feel like I'm fighting off a cold - a bit snivelly and under the weather, but not really ill and snotty like when you have a full blown cold. Is it actually possible to have the cold virus but be fighting it off, so that you don't feel properly ill, or is it a case of either you've got one or you don't?

Course it is. Like you can have a slight rash or a full blown one

Ah maybe it's not so odd then. I can't remember the last time I had a proper cold and I never seem to catch them off other people, even when they are basically sneezing all over me. Maybe viruses express themselves differently in different people. It's just been annoying me this week because I seem to be getting a slight sore throat and a sniffle every evening and then waking up fine. Weird!

Hope you feel better soon InLove!
