A member asked:
Just finished antibiotics but still have cough and runny nose for the past couple days, should i visit my doctor again?

Maybe: Some cough and runny nose are usually viral and may take a few days to weeks to improve, but do not need treatment. If, however , you are running a fever, have shortness of breath, coughing spasms, or facial pain, you should see your doctor.
