Light Sensitivity
Another symptom that tends to act as a warning sign for a head cold is light sensitivity, perhaps even before you get a sore throat. Light sensitivity is a standard indicator of something wrong, and it will usually get worse as it goes. For example, many people notice light sensitivity when driving home after a hard day at work. So if you notice light sensitivity from the headlights of other cars and the street lights, it’s a good idea to start planning a quick recovery plan. Regarding any viral infection, getting hydrated is a must, as well as getting your rest as soon as possible.
Light sensitivity is not necessarily an indicator of a head cold, but it’s a common symptom leading to viral infection. The solution to light sensitivity is simple, as all you have to do is rest in a dark, preferably quiet room. The advantage of light sensitivity is you will still feel relatively fine, and the symptom will likely make you wonder what’s going on. If you start feeling other symptoms on the list after a few hours, you’ll know it’s a head cold.
