Do you get water retention from a head cold?

emma155

I have a cold, I'm coughing, blowing my nose alot and feeling run down.
I have been really on track with my calories and have been loosing 1lb a week for about 3 weeks now but yesterday I weighed my self and had not lost anything since last week and this morn I weighed my self again and was up 1lb from last week!
This is really frustrating because I feel I'm back to square one
Please someone shed some light...
Is it water retention?

Thanks

Are you taking any medications with a lot of sodium?
I can always tell when I retain water by how my rings fit.
