NO WAY. and it cant be the same one because all bacteria are different. either you're a really sick person and catches different bacteria three times a month because of a weak immune system....or that cold just never stopped...it was going on and had three high peaks of its time....

You might want to check with a doctor, it may be a sinus infection if you have allergies all year round. I constantly get them.

Yes, if you need it. That certainly isn't excessive. My doctor said I could use a mild one two or three times a week.

Start taking Zinc.  Clinically proven to help prevent and shorten colds.

Wash your hands always and if you know somebody around you has a cold make sure you stay away from them.\nEspecialy at work make sure you don't touch your eyes ears nose or mouth if you have been near or touched door handles, pens, keyboards etc when sick people are in work.\n\nThis works for me, I used to get colds and flu every 2 - 3 months then I started bieng more careful and I had my first cold in 3 years  just 2 weeks ago.\n\nVitamins are not the answer, I eat fruit maybe once a month and I pretty much live off microwave meals, toast, biscuits and takeaways.\n\nOh and don't take drugs, these make it very easy to get a cold in the weeks after taking them.

You may not have a cold, my friend. You may have allergies. Get an allergy test, to make certain. Because if you have any allergies, which is likely, there are a number of medications to take. If it is a virus of some sort, do all the natural things that you can; take in 1000mg of vitamin C, daily; eat a balanced diet; take a multi-vitamin; keep your feet warm; clean your living space regularly (vacuum, disinfect washrooms and kitchen); exercise; make an effort to rest and sleep enough. If you do this consistently, you should be healthy. Other wise, consult as many physicians as you can until you find a solution.

mix some eucalyptus oil in hot water, pop your head over it and cover with a towel, this will hopefully stop your cold going onto your chest, try and breathe in the fumes for as long as possible. also rub some under your nose as it'll help unblock your nose and rub onto your chest and pillow when you go to bed. i sympathise as I've had 2 colds in 6 weeks.

What else is going on in your life?  I find I get sick when I am under too much pressure and I need a rest - my body makes one for me.  If it lasts too long, I either really needed it, or the other obstacles are taking longer in my life for me to deal with.\n\nRemember, there is time enough for everything.  Peace is paramount!  Get lots of rest and make yourself happy - indulge in a novel, watch movies all day, eat your favorite chocolates while you play computer games all day long - do what you never have the time to relax and do.  \n\nIf after 2 or 3 days of that you are not feeling better, then you should see someone.  Besides, while most people get over a cold in 7 days, it actually takes 10 - 14 days to completely recover from it, in most cases.

ugh...I know how you feel. I had that problem for weeks.  Try some eucalyptus oil.  Boil a tablespoon of the oil in some water, pour into a bowl and inhale the fumes.  Put a towel over your head as you do this but be careful not to get burned!  But if you've had a cold for over 3 weeks and you are coughing stuff up, or continue to have a temperature, then go see your doc. Good luck and feel better soon!

it just means your body is different from everyone else, like it should be... if you feel you need to, go ask your doctor... I also am a very cold person, and i am just fine!
