I've had a deep cough and sinus congestion/irritation for almost 2 weeks now maybe more. should i go to the doctor or wait it out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Your Doctor Now: In general, respiratory infections (runny/stuffy nose, cough, etc.) can last up to 2 weeks with the symptoms gradually improving over time. These infections are commonly caused by viruses. Symptoms persisting beyond 2 weeks may indicate complications such as sinus infections, bronchitis, and more. At this point in time you should see your doctor now for proper diagnosis and treatment.
