Common cold

Explanation:

The duration of the disease is one factor that helps us perceive the disease as acute or chronic. An acute disease is one which is over very soon, and will not have time to cause major effects on general health, like the common cold or cough.

On the contrary, chronic diseases last for a long time, even as much as a lifetime, and cause major effects on the health of the person.
