Question

How many colds in a year is normal?

Answer 1

For children it's normal for them to get colds at least 12 times per year but not every child gets a cold 12 times per year which is normal also but it depends on how many cold viruses the child is exposed to over the year.

Adults normally get only 4 to 5 colds per year but adults can also normally get the cold or even flu virus up to 12 times per year which is normal.

Answer 2

I normally get 2 colds per year but sometimes I've gotten up to 6 colds in a year which is normal.

It can depend on the person and how many strains of cold viruses are hanging around that year.
