When you have a cold, how long are you sick for??

I am the same as most of you. Feel really sick for 2-4 days but the cough just seems to linger on. Annoys me to no end!

Usually about 2-3 days of feeling really crappy. DH on the other hand seems to get sick and it seems to last weeks. (or maybe it just feels like weeks the way he carries on about it!)

A cold usually hangs around for 3-4 days, but I have a lingering cough that can take up to 3 months to go away. I'm a smoker, and have been prone to respiratory/sinus/throat infections since childhood (I was asthmatic until my late teens) so usually when I get a cold it turns into a chest infection, if it doesn't I still have a nasty cough.

Maybe pop into your GP to get it checked out and make sure it's nothing that needs antibiotics to get rid of?? Hope you feel better soon
