is it normal to have a cold for 2-3 weeks.  i started with a cold, seem like it was going away and double back with body aches (1 day) now im full of mucus, ive been taking Alkasa plus and it helps me sleep but my mouth is very dry in the morning.  i am intact with a 15 month old baby every week which has a cold.  i never kept a cold this long.  it seem like since ive been around this baby, im catching more colds.  Could it be the baby keeping me sick?
