I'm feeling much better today. Only blown my nose twice! Glad I didn't waste the co-pay. If it gets worse again, off I go.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doc-for-a-cold#post-933228 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:16:14 +0000 autumnlove 933228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>During pregnancy...2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doc-for-a-cold#post-933208 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 16:09:53 +0000 Ra 933208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rarely. My mom is really into homeopathic remedies so I usually have her mix me up a "potion" of some sort. </p> <p>Two weeks seems like a really long time to have a cold though. Your DH may be right, in which case you should go get yourself some antibiotics.</p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doc-for-a-cold#post-933016 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:20:25 +0000 runsyellowlites 933016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been to the doctor for sickness since I was young... last time I went to the hospital it was for my thyroid &amp; it almost killed me. lol</p> <p>I would do some steamy showers with some eucalyptus &amp; peppermint oil &amp; lots of hot tea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-go-to-the-doc-for-a-cold#post-933008 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:17:56 +0000 BlueWolverine 933008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been battling what I think is a cold for almost two weeks. It started out with a sore throat, which is finally gone, but now I'm coughing and blowing my nose every five minutes. It's disgusting. I have to practically eat with my mouth open so I can breathe (which also grosses me out). My ears feel plugged up and I have a recurring annoying headache. My DH just came home with a sinus infection diagnosis and is pushing me to go to the doc. However, it always seems like it's a virus and they can't do anything, so what's the point? When do you bite the bullet and head to the doc? </p>
