Average daily severity of individual cold symptoms. Parents of children with colds (n=134) were asked to score symptoms on a scale from 0 (not present) to 3 (severe). To calculate the average daily severity, a value of zero was assigned for those subjects who did not provide a symptom severity rating on a given day during the 10-day follow-up period because the parent was not required to complete the symptom severity questionnaire after all symptoms had resolved.
