I've had the flu for a week and i'm still run down with a cough. at night i'm coughing more and that my chest is a bit tight. is it nearing the end?

Cough from the flu: Can last up to a month. Make sure you are doing everything you can to reduce goo dripping into your lungs. Use a humidifier in the bedroom 24/7, keep doors closed, especially when heat is on all the time. Use saline nasal spray as often as needed-at least before bed.Use steroid nasal spray if you have one: fluticasone, omnaris, nasonex (mometasone). Steamy showers breathing through your nose will help too.
