    if it lasts more then 14 days see a doctor

    That… seems like a long time? Is that what your doctors are recommending for medical reasons or is it born out of necessity because of the general circumstances in the US? Because where I am, it’s 3 days, a week at most.

      that is a rule for certain conditions, like mouth ulcers, if it last more than 2 weeks, probably should seek a doctor asap. i had one that lasted that long. because acute causes dont last that long, and thats usually only 1-2 things that can make it last longer than 2 weeks.

      For (possibly) broken bones, it’s zero days here. Straight to the doctor you go. A three day cough will have to be pretty damned serious before you get to see a doctor though.
