No: No, probably just a common cold, sometimes symptoms can last 10-14 days. Try not to use sudafed every night though. It is a decongestant and will work quickly to help you breathe, but can also cause side effects. Natural remedies like using a humidifier, nasal saline rinses, and drinking tea with honey before bed can help.
