  • I "have a cold." What is this called in other countries? In other languages?

    This is also called "a common cold."

    My throat hurts. I'm sneezing and coughing. I am tired and my body aches. It is caused by a virus and is different from influenza. What is this called in other countries and in other languages?

    I know that the words we use to describe medical conditions in English don't always translate to other languages. I tried to tell my Chinese friend that our neighbor "had a seizure" and we couldn't find a way to translate it.
