I've had a cough and sore throat: First, any high fevers. Second , cough loose( what color phlegm) or dry , hacking cough. I Are you getting any sinus pressure or headaches? Couple of things before seeing doctor. First, warm compresses to the face; saline nasal spray ;increase humidification ( hot showers, vaporizer) Gargle with warm, salty water. This might be viral or sinus with some bronchitis. If not better, then see Dr.
