Can you give us some symptoms?
***If it feels like a cold, you haven't been running a temperature over 103 degrees and you can breathe, then I would suggest:
Lots of rest
Lots of fluids
Clear liquid diet if tummy problems
Over the counter medication like Tylenol Cold if you are miserable.
If you are not better in 7-10 days go to the doctor. I recently took my daughter to the Walgreen's Nurse Practitioner Clinic and without even paying she told me that she had the virus that was going around and that she couldn't really do anything for us to not waste our money. That could be an option if you don't get better.
I know in our area right now the allergens are very bad and that can cause runny nose, sore throat, stomach upset.
Hope you feel better soon.

I had what I thought was tonsilitis (I was diagnosed with it at a clinic) about 2 years ago. I stayed in bed for 7 days before I went to the ER. By the time I went to the ER the Dr there told me if I had waited an hour or so more I would have been dead. I ended up having Lemierre's Syndrome which can be VERY serious. Luckily I got to the ER just in time but I will never wait that long again. Even if you go in there and they send you home with nothing.. it would be better than waiting and not waking up later.. don't you think?

I would wait until you've been sick for a week first. Colds can last up to two weeks, if that's what's wrong with you. If you still haven't started to feel better, pay a little visit to your doctor. I'm sure it's nothing. I hope you feel better soon! :-)

It could be still a cold because there is a one week incubation period and a one week active period and a one week rehibernating period. If your symptoms do not go away within the next few days then mabe you need a stronger antibiotic to rid youself of your sickness by the doctor.

I would wait it out...most colds will last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks...it could be allergies too. I would give it till monday unless you're violently ill and give it a chance to clear on it's own

I'd suggest you list and post it on the Health related site for answers.
