Not unusual: It is not unusual to have a week or so of mild cough with phlegm and mucus in nose after the fever, chills and achy, feeling poorly portion of a bad cold/ flu have resolved. Make sure to stay hydrated. You may use saline rinse or neti pot to manage nasal congestion and post nasal drip. It helps thin mucus and reduces the urge to cough and clear ones throat repeatedly. Always check w/ your doctor.
