How long does it take to get a cold?
33-year-old woman
Cold, congestion, transparent mucus sometimes yellow-green, headache + fever Saturday-Sunday night + ear infections (2 ears) since this morning. Covid negative
Sinus rinse 3x a day, tylenol for cold (night or day) as needed. Should I consult quickly or wait x days (improvement?)? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question!
Would it be possible to know since when you have these symptoms?

Thanks for the information!
You are already doing well with nasal hygiene. This can be done as often as needed during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime.
You can continue with Tylenol Cold if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you find it effective.
You should soon notice an improvement, even if very gradual. It is suggested that you consult a doctor if there is no improvement after 7 days.
I hope this has been helpful to you, so please don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions!
