Answers:
What you are describing could be a result of people's bodies reacting differently because of differences in the strength of the bodies immune system, or it could be due to the fact that there are actually hundreds of different "common cold" viruses, and the different viruses may cause slightly different symptoms. Health Question & Answer

One reason is that there are so many different types of common cold virus, the severity of each infection will differ.

also, the strengths of your immune system, compared to that of your friends. A stronger immune response will lessen the effects of the virus.

Plus, any form of illness will stretch your immune system, so at this time, another infection is more likely (which is partly why you got a lung infection on top of your cold). Health Question & Answer

its a virus, it has the ability to mutate.

thats why there isn't a cure for it, just treatments.Health Question & Answer
