Humira advice

[Fred]

How long to leave a cold before asking advice? And (in UK) would you approach GP or derm about it?
I have a sneezy runny nose, sore throat and cough - classic cold.

For me I would wait a week to ten days, if it was getting better I wouldn't bother. On the other hand if it's very bad or getting worse I would probably tell my GP after around day 4-5, if it feels like the classic cold I would say you will be fine with some paracetamol.  

Or better still my favourite way of dealing with it is.

Mug of hot water.
Shot of your favourite spirit whisky vodka brandy etc.
Spoonful of brown sugar.
Good squeeze of lemon juice.
1 crushed paracetamol.
