Human: How do I know when to go to the doctor vs. when to wait it out? Assistant: 
It's difficult to say for sure when you should go to the doctor, since everyone's situation is different. However, some general guidelines are that if your symptoms last longer than 2 weeks or get worse over time, then you should see a doctor. Also, if you have any risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, then you should definitely consult with a doctor.
