Day 13 of a cold. i feel fine but have mild congestion that's causing some post nasal drip &hence coughs. is 13 days unusually long?

Not for this one: I have seen many patients (particularly those who have exposure to young children) to have a cough for more than 3 wks from the viral infection. Yes it is uncommonly long but not for this virus.
