Sounds more like flu than a cold - flu generally lasts longer and has worse symptoms.

only search advicenators.com


but now if it seems to be reaching other areas, perhaps it's nearing a chest infection or something else which your doc needs to be made aware of.

Either way - you will not get a thorough diagnosis from anyone here, or the internet for that matter. You will need to revisit your doc who will actually be able to examine you and give you appropriate medicine if necessary.

Don't suffer with it, just get it sorted. Ring them asap.

We are not doctors and we cannot make diagnoses.

Something hanging on this long could be normal. Given the fact that you appear to have a new symptom I would suggest seeing your doctor again or seeing a different doctor for a second opinion.
