If you truly have an infection, it can travel to other places in your body. Typically, if I let one go it first goes to my ears and then on into my respiratory tract causing an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis by this time, you would be very uncomfortable and very much wishing you had gone to the doctor sooner. Your mom is a nurse-you need to listen to her.
