Is It Necessary To Consult A Doctor For One Week Old Flu?

My husband and I are on day 8 of the flu. We are still very tired. Our ears are plugged and we have a lot of mucus ranging from clear, cloudy, yellow and sometimes blood tinged. We have bad coughs and sore throats and sweat a lot at night. Should we see a Doctor or wait it out. We are sooooo ready to be over with this.
