we've all had colds, but how can you tell if its something more serious?  
For the past couple days ive been sleeping alot (napping when my daughter does and even going to bed as early as 830pm), but the rest doesnt seem to help, as it seems that im just getting worse! I've taken buckley's cough/cold/flu medicine, and it didnt help, neither does benylin extra strength all in one cold and flu tablets. I have a sore throat from coughing so much, and a headache, i feel drained (even though im getting so much sleep), grrrr!  
So, at what point do you go to the doctor? I dont want to go all the way into brandon just to be told "get some rest and drink lots of water" when that is exactly what ive been doing!
