How long after cold and fever can a cough linger. it's been a few weeks. thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weeks!: The cough can linger for 3-4 weeks after a cold. It may not mean that the infection is still present. It is often due to inflammation in the lungs caused by the infection. There are meds which may help such as steroid inhalers and cough suppressants. Feel better!
