Cold: The usual head cold lasts about one week and if it travels to the trachea(windpipe) or bronchial tubes a cough develops. Irritation after this may cause a dry,hacking cough for another week for which robitussinDM helps. However if copious,discolored sputum,fever,chills,wheezing,chest pain or shortness of breath develop,see a physician as antibiotics may be needed and a chest x-Ray can be done .
