There can be some common cold injuries that happen when you have the cold. The most common cold injuries are usually from frostbite that is a localized injury or either injuries that are systemic like hypothermia. Some cold injuries like hypothermia might even cause death. Some people are at a higher risk factor to get cold injuries.

High Risk Factors:

- abuse with drugs
- old age
- not wearing the right clothing
- fatigue
- cardiac disease
- smoking
- alcohol
- hunger

The treatment might be as simple as body heat or replacing the cold/wet clothes and putting on warm and dry clothes. Without proper treatment not only can the person possibly experience death but they might have other illnesses such as high fever that might come later.
