7-10 days: If you're having cough, runny nose, sore throat symptoms without a fever that is not improving at all after about a week, it'd be appropriate to see a physician. That's about the time cold symptoms should be improving. A note about fevers and colds/flu - fevers usually present at the beginning of an illness. When you get new fevers a week in, then that's abnormal and you should get seen.

Good question: Sometimes tonsils can swell from viral or bacterial infections. If only one tonsil is swollen, this could be something more worrisome like a cancer and should be checked by a physician.
