7-10'days: Most infections are due to viral pathogens and disease is self limited. Try palliative measures such as tylenol (acetaminophen) and fluids. Monitor temperature and contact physician for fever over 101.5 or inability to remain hydrated. Also consider contacting physician of this persists past 10 days.
