That's a bit long. You could try an otc therapy like I suggested, but my concern is pneumonia or some sort of further complication that is outside my experience. While it does good to be skeptical of the medical industry, finding a doctor you know to be in pursuit of curative solutions would be good to do, if you don't know some, already. At the very least, having imaging or pab results to look at, yourself, that you would not have, otherwise, is a benefit.
