Ours lasted two to three plus weeks. We just kept taking Ester-C, Zinc and Garlic Tablets. They usually work best at the first signs of a cold. If you're too stuffed up to be able to sleep, take Coricedin-HBP about an hour before bedtime. Sleep all you can. The cough can carry on a little longer. Chest congestion? Consider taking Licorice Root capsules. You can probably find them at GNC or maybe the Medicine Chest.
