A member asked:
What to do if i have had flu/cold for four days, trouble sleeping, how much longer will this last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold symptoms: The first 3-4 days of a cold are the absolute worst! Frequently people start to turn the corner at about day 4-5. This is a good time to assess as to whether you should see a doctor if you are not doing as expected.
