You might get a secondary infection caused by a bacteria, but only viruses cause colds. The bacterial infection can be secondary to any source that causes mucous production that the bacteria can take hold in. Often it starts with an allergic reaction.
Years ago someone told me of getting walking pneumonia every spring like clock work. Finally her doctor told her that if she is sleeping with her windows open that this could be the source of the problem. Pollens are heavily released in the early morning hours and were causing mucous. She said the annual bouts of pneumonia stopped when she started closing her windows at night. Although I love sleeping with my windows open I have noticed I have far more mucous when I do. I close them just before I go to sleep.
