How long should cold and flu symptoms really last — and when should you get help?

As it seems everyone is fighting off some kind of sickness, medical experts have advised when you should see a doctor.
New York City is one of a handful of hot spots for respiratory illnesses this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports.
All of the hotspots had either high or very high concentrations of COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus or influenza — aka “the tripledemic.”
Symptoms of a regular cold tend to spike within the first few days of a person being sick, although certain symptoms, such as a runny nose or consistent cough, can last up to 14 days, according to the CDC.
However, symptoms of influenza, RSV, the coronavirus and other viruses typically last seven days — but could continue for as long as two weeks.
People who have pre-existing conditions such as asthma may experience symptoms for a long time, leaving some curious as to when their cough means they should schedule an appointment at the doctor’s office.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
