Note
A plural that almost always means illnesses. Cold as low temperature is a mass noun: you feel the cold or endure a spell of cold, but you do not count it. The countable form belongs to the common viral infection, as in catching three colds in one winter or a run of bad colds. Only the figurative cold, a harsh place of abandonment, can also be counted.
