I ask because I've had a cold for about 4-6 days now (can't remember exactly), and I had felt the cold coming on for like a week before that. So, I want to know how bad it should be before I take medicine. Now, I don't like taking medicine unless it is absolutely necessary, and that is party due to the fact that I worry too much. Anyhow, my cold is at a point where I mostly have to breathe out of my mouth, but it isn't impossible to breathe out of my nose, just difficult. The coughing is starting to sound a little....hoarse, I suppose, and I've had a terrible soar throat, so do you think I should take medicine? Thank you for your help, and if I've confused you in any way just answer the question that serves as the title.
