Cold symptoms usually appear two or three days after you’ve been exposed to the virus.1 Once your symptoms start, your cold will usually last for about one week. |
Many of us feel a cough should last a little over a week, but according to most doctors, the reality is that a cough lasts closer to 18 days. 2 |
In either case, you should check with your doctor if your symptoms worsen or last longer than one week.
For a cough, you can always turn to BENYLIN® Dry Cough. And if you have more than just a cough, try BENYLIN® Extra Strength Cough Plus Cold Relief Syrup.
