Aslo look at your diet etc is it balanced? do you eat plenty of protien, fruit and veg? and do you sleep well? all these things can affect your health. x

You need antibiotics. Or you could have bronchitis. That also needs antibiotics. If you don't get treatment it could turn into pneumonia.
Just go. It's not a big deal. And yes I have had friends who were sick with a cold like the one you describe.
