A member asked:

Cough 2weeks, sometimes hurts in chest, body aches, no fever.taking mucinex (guaifenesin) dm, netti pot, gypsy cold tea w/no results. any recommendations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Influenza test: Better to be safe and have a rapid influenza test since this sounds very much like a viral infection. No fever leads me to think less likely influenza but better to rule it out.
