Default Different defence mechanisms for different cold viruses?

If its a virus, not much anyone can do other than manage the symptoms.
The symptoms generally point to ward where the worst attack is, so nose
bleeds probably indicate its mostly nasal in nature.
The to use the only word I can spell, snot goes hard and attaches to the
inside of the nose and when you sneeze or blow your nose it tears itself
away and often takes hair and skin with it causing vessels to bleed that are
near the surface.
Not pleasant, I've been there.
