If your cold lasts much longer, it might be something worse than a cold like pneumonia and you might need to go to a doctor and get antibiotics.

But it should be just about over if it is just a cold. In the meanwhile, get a lot of rest and drink a lot of fluid. If you have a fever or a really deep cough, get to a doctor.

I'll pray for you. You might want to eat a whole garlic,if you can stand it. That works everytime. Oh,and someone said that if you put onion in your socks it pulls the fever out...{I don't know if that's true or not}. The last time I had a bad cold and fever I took some cold and flu tylenol and that killed it. Hope this helps. Get well soon!!!
