I have been coughing non stop and having to body aches and pains cold chills sneezing fevers off and on and now I m having trouble breathing and slight chest pain but my dr seems to think it s nothing more than a cold but it s been going on for more than 3 weeks now should I go get a second opinion?
Yes, you should consider a second opinion. Even though the cold can sometimes last up to 2 to 3 weeks, this is not common and it would be best to be reassessed.
It is possible that cold would be confirmed but at least you would be re examined.
Allergies would cause coughing and sneezing but would not normally causes aches and pains.
I hope this helps
