I have had a hoarse cough for 6 days and a very milky green sputum. along with congestion. step throat test negative on friday. what do you suggest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: I would suggest monitoring your temperature, nasal saline rinses, rest and hydration. If your cough is associated with high fever, lasts more than 3 weeks, you may need a course of antibiotics. The color of your sputum should begin to clear in the next one week.
