Not sure where to post this but hey ho.I've had a "bit of a cold" for about two months now - sore throat, slightly blocked runny nose and occasional mild earache. Never gets worse than that and doesn't seem to be getting better. Am I just catching everything from a young child in nursery who seems to have a perpetual runny nose or what. Doesn't feel bad enough to need to see a doctor and feel like I should be patient and wait for it to clear up, or is this something that antibiotics would help with. I know you get viral ilnesses and bacterial illnesses and antibiotics don't work on viruses, etc etc.Your medical knowledge please.

Anyone familiar with longer-term but less chronic versions of this? I've had a semi-blocked and very runny nose now for around 3 years and, except during brief forays to warm sunny climes, I basically feel weak, cold and tired all the time. I've always just blamed it on a cluster of separate things (Reynauds, insomnia, being a bit too thin etc) that combine to make me feel very under-the-weather when a bit stressed. Recently though, I can't help but wonder whether there's a single cause that could perhaps be addressed - some sort of lingering post-viral thing or a hormonal / blood disorder?
