"La tos": Will there ever be a cure for the common cold?

Based on today's word la tos, create a sentence in Spanish (with the English translation) using any word that describes the common cold, its symptoms, its remedies, etc. Share a childhood memory, things you might do to cheer family members up when they have a cold or the horrors of waiting in a doctor's office. Be creative. wink

The whole story is a tissue of fabrications. There is no known cure.

Todo ello no es más que un tejido de mentiras. No se conoce ninguna cura.
