See Your Doctor Now: Not sure if your daughter's age is 27 yrs however upper respiratory infections resolve over 2 wks; a 10 lb weight loss in such a short time is concerning for a more serious underlying illness such as Diabetes, complication from viral or bacterial infection, & more. With no further history provided, it is time to have your daughter evaluated. See your doctor now for correct diagnosis and treatment.
