do you normally go to the doctor when you have a long-lasting cold?

I've had a cold for almost two weeks. Normally I don't go to the doctor when I have a cold but I'm wondering if I should get checked out since it's been a while. My symptoms have ranged from sore throat (which went away but has now returned) to sneezing, coughing, and a bit of congestion. And overall I've just been feeling tired and weak. Curious about whether most people normally see a doctor for a long lasting cold, or whether I should just wait it out...?

I generally don't unless I know I need antibiotics because usually they just tell you to take medicine, sleep, wait longer, etc. So if you know it's like strep or maybe mono, etc, then I'd go. Otherwise, I'd try sleeping (or at least staying in bed) for 8-9 hours a night. Sleep heals all!

I didn’t use to but if its easy and you have health insurance I’d do it because it’s just a “better safe than sorry” situation and to make sure you don’t need antibiotics
