I don't want to go to the doctor just for them to tell me it's a common cold but I'm thinking about going.
Let go of expectations of something that hasn't even happened yet. You've come to a conclusion about an interaction that is in the future. We get the chance to take care of ourselves today. Going to the doctor is part of that journey. If it's a common cold, it's good to know it's not more serious and if it's not, you now have someone to help you medically with symptoms while you recover.
