My cold symptoms are diversifying. Yesterday, I woke up coughing, and coughed a bit throughout the day, which left my throat a bit raw.

Today, not only am I coughing, but I woke up gasping for air and water because I was so congested, and I'm sneezing myself to tears.

This is nothing nearly serious enough for me to consider seeing a doctor, in my mind, unless it continues without improvement for a few more days. Hopefully the cold medicine will help.
