    Rule of thumb if a cold goes longere than 7 days then see a doctor.

    There is nothing that can be done for a common cold or influenza as they are a virus.

    Best rest and treat symptoms of sore throat and runny nose with throat losengers and cold and flu tabs.

    A stuffy nose is a sign of a cold, or some other kind of virus. It's good to go to your doctor just to get it checked out, but either way they won't be able to do much for it.
