I've had a cold for more than 10 days now. should i see a doctor?

Cold: I don't know what your symptoms are and what you've taken, but 10 days is too long to let your symptoms linger without either seeing significant improvement or seek medical attention. You may have developed secondary bacterial sinusitis, pharyngitis, or bronchitis etc.that may require antibiotics to treat effectively.
