how long does a cold last?

[sonearsofar]

I've had a cold since Thursday (sneezing, runny nose, feeling under the weather - not major, just getting really boring). Do cols normally last this long, or is it possible I've got hay fever (which I've never had before)?

Can be 7-10 days. Or could be hayfever. What colour is the snot? Do you feel unwell, or is your nose/eyes itchy or inflamed?

Hope you get well soon .

thanks Charlie - not much snot, just bunged up, itchy eyes, feeling rubbish

Itchy eyes sounds more like hayfever than a cold to me. However, I'm no medic, so maybe have a chat with your pharmacist or GP?

yes - it's still going on, I'm going to the pharmacist
