According to the NATIONAL INSTUTE OF ALLERGIES AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES, "Symptoms of the common cold usually begin 2 to 3 days after infection." But, from the time a cold virus enters the nose, it takes only 8-12 hours for new cold virus to be released in nasal secretions. So, cold symptoms can begin shortly after virus is first produced in the nose, which would be 8-12 hours. Trina Laedeekat,

Once exposed or contaminated, how long before you start getting sniffles and feeling bad. We are having a debate at work. I say that once sneezing starts, the contamination had already happened; perhaps 1-2 day prior. I just want to know how long does it take for a cold to actually appear?

Too often people confuse the two, getting annoyed that like you the develop a cold despite having received the influenza vaccination (and unlike you don’t bother to learn about any of it).
