Cold / flu?
I have had a really bad cold-ish flu-ish thing for a week.
Symptoms: coughing/sneezing, mucus-y grossness, sore throat, occasional light-headedness, etc. (the usuals)
I've been taking vitamin C and drinking hot tea, soup, and resting for days...I mean, I've still gone to school and work, but when I get home (in the early to mid afternoon) I rest a ton...
Why hasn't this gone away...do you think it's something more serious, or do you have any other treatments I could try?

If it's lasted more than a week with continuous symptoms it sounds more like flu. Flu can take up to 2 weeks to clear properly, whereas a cold should have cleared up between 5-7 days. I am currently in the same predicament.
Try not to see a doctor for antibiotics, it's important that your immune system becomes stronger so you don't feel this way again. Just keep resting and persevere! You won't feel this way forever!
