If you've recovered from your cold before you can get to a doctor, then you didn't need to see a doctor. It's almost as if humans have some kind of immune system to deal with common viral infections
If you are wondering why it takes months to see a GP it's because fully 50% of my consults are healthy people with self limiting viral illnesses.
Each one of those appointments makes me unavailable to see someone else who may or may not have offensive vaginal discharge.
If people just got out of the mindset of "my kid has a cold, I need to see a doctor to get checked out" or even worse " I have a cold, I need antibiotics" then maybe I can spend my day treating actual medical problems instead of telling people to go home, have some vitamin C and drink plenty of fluids.

Fine then, "if my vagina is leaking a green fluid and smells really disgusting" is that a better hypothetical for you???
Better, yes.
