A common cold doesn`t usually last for weeks. Perhaps because many different viruses can cause a cold you caught another one while still sick with the first. Unfortunately you can only treat the symptoms. Hope you`re feeling better soon.

A cold is your body trying to build up your immune system by fighting off bacteria and other toxins in your body. It's up to you if you're on your immune system's side, or your toxins' side, who do you want to help? Sugar literally starts breaking down your immune system within a 1/2 hour of consumption. Bacteria and infections multiply in mucous. If you cough it up, spit it out, but try not to hurt your throat. Vitamin C pills are supposed to help. Any kind of citrus, though, especially grapefruit break down phlegm. I usually only have a cold for a couple of days if I drink grapefruit juice.
Even after your cold is over continue to build up your immune system with organic fruits and vegetables.
Whatever you do, don't take cough syrup unless you're trying to sleep. It will help the symptoms, but not cure the cause of the cold. Remember you're sick because you're nutritionally deficient, not because you lack acetominophen and alcohol.

It depends on what sort of cold it is and what medication your using to help your body fight the cold. As you have had it for a few weeks i would suggest you going to your GP and discussing you symptoms with your doctor. Also i would try tablets from your pharmicist to help you try and get back on your feet with out havin to take a bag of tissues with you everywhere

It sounds like you may have walking pneumonia or perhaps some sort of respiratory infection. You may want to seek medical attention ASAP.
