My body is taking longer than expected to get better with this common cold is that normal?

Answer 1

What else is going on in your life? I find I get sick when I am under too much pressure and I need a rest - my body makes one for me. If it lasts too long, I either really needed it, or the other obstacles are taking longer in my life for me to deal with.

Remember, there is time enough for everything. Peace is paramount! Get lots of rest and make yourself happy - indulge in a novel, watch movies all day, eat your favorite chocolates while you play computer games all day long - do what you never have the time to relax and do.

If after 2 or 3 days of that you are not feeling better, then you should see someone. Besides, while most people get over a cold in 7 days, it actually takes 10 - 14 days to completely recover from it, in most cases.

Answer 2

Normally if it´s been more than a week, and specially if you have fever, cough or green mucus in you nose ( all or any of these) could be a sign that the viral infection has become a bacteria infection.
Go see you doctor he´ll probably give an antibiotic.
I hope you get better.

Answer 3

Could be the nature of the virus. Maybe you should go to your doctor and check. The herb echinacea is good for shortening the length of a cold.

Answer 4
