I have had cold symptoms for 2 weeks now. It started out sore throat, then went into nasal congestion. I thought I was getting better and it felt like it was clearing up. Well, last night I woke up and had a really sore throat and body aches, and I having been feeling this way all day today too. With the sore throat and body aches though I have started havng neck and ear pain when I swallow. So, my question is, is it normal to have a sickness that seems to get better and then gets worse in the second week?
