A member asked:

What to do if i have headache. no other symptoms to it. i have also developed a dry cough. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. John Chiu answered

Neither is normal: But then these are very common symptoms. Usually the headache and dry cough are not related except in the case of nasal congestion (headaches) with post-nasal drips (cough) or sinusitis.
