Hello Ma'am, When the cough has been going on for more than 3 weeks, or the cold suddenly turns into sinus pain, it's best to go see a doctor indeed. Sometimes antibiotics are needed to relieve the symptoms. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time. Waiting for the appointment, continue with the decongestants and Tylenol™ for the pain. Happy evening, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
