Brief Answer:
You should see a doctor if not better in 3-5 days.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
An upper respiratory tract infection needs 3-5 days to start getting better.
If not better after 5 days, if you have shortness of breast, chest pain or fever then you will need to see a local doctor who can examine your lungs and sinuses, so they can rule out a pneumonia or a sinusitis.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications or if you have other questions or concerns.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
