Postnatal drip.: Following viral upper respiratory infections, it is not uncommon to have cough for 3 weeks. The lining of the respiratory tract has the blanket of very tiny hairs called cilia. The cilia gets destroyed during viral infections. Takes about three weeks for new cilia to be formed. Cilia is involved in getting the mucus out.
