Having a cold for 10 days without improvement suggests you should see a doctor for a proper evaluation, as prolonged symptoms may indicate a bacterial infection or other issues needing treatment.

🩺 What You Should Do Now

• Consult a general physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to assess your symptoms.
• Avoid self-medicating with over-the-counter products like Vicks alone if symptoms persist beyond a week.
• Drink warm fluids, rest well, and maintain good hydration to support recovery.

⚠️ When to Seek Urgent Care

• If you develop high fever, severe headache, difficulty breathing, or chest pain.
• If nasal congestion worsens with facial pain or swelling.
• If you notice any unusual symptoms like persistent cough with blood.

A doctor can determine if you need medications such as antibiotics or other treatments like the Alerfix Total Tablet, which requires a prescription.
