Frequent colds results from one or more of the following causative and triggering factors:

1. Genetic tendency: Most people with frequent colds have a genetic tendency. One or more of their family members may have one of the following diseases, suggestive of genetic trait: Colds, Asthma, allergies of some kind, Tuberculosis, etc. 
2. Immunological factors: Low immunity leads to frequent infections such as colds. This may also be due to genetic tendency.

3. Infections: Bacterial, viral
4. Allergens: Food, pollen, dust, mites, others
5. Environment: Extreme cold, heat
6. Poor health
7. Stress
8. Drugs

The key issue is the 'altered immunity'. Homeopathic medicines are supposed to be working at the immune level whereby enhancement of immunity prevents frequent colds.

The Homeopathic medicine is believed to address the genetic predisposition, enhance the resistance making patient less susceptible to the allergens, infections and the environment.

Treating the roots, not merely the result!
There is little logic in treating merely the symptoms such as running nose; sneezing and nose block using antihistamine medicines. This problem of frequent colds is deeper rooted and needs to be addressed at the root level. Homeopathy just attempts working at the root of the allergies.
