I've had a cough and sore throat for 3 weeks, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avg cough = 18d: Cough illness lasts 18 days on average so coughing for 3wks puts you right on schedule. Most coughs ; sore throats are due to viruses which don't respond to antibiotics. Go see your family doc re http://www.Mdcalc.Com/modified-centor-score-for-strep-pharyngitis/.
