Sounds : Sounds like you are doing the right things pushing plenty of fluids and giving honey for the cough and sore throat (though not to anyone younger than a year old!). Typical cold symptoms can last 7-10 days. If the symptoms worsen instead of improve, last longer than 10 days, or if any new symptoms develop, you should call your child's doctor.

A Few More Days: If they are in no pain, have no difficulty breathing, and are acting normally, a "routine" haed cold may take 10-14 days to run its course, so waiting a few more days should be ok.
