I'd be pretty happy to get a cold only every other month since i'm always getting a cold from my patients...

But enough about me...

10 days is kinda long for a viral infection.  If you have had fever and yellow phegm with hoarseness, go see your doc to see if this is bacterial.  Probably not, but why take the chance?
