Mgt: You may have post infection inflammation in the lungs which can last for weeks. If the cough continues for 4 weeks, a follow up appt is indicated. If you notice any wheezing, you should use Albuterol. In the meantime, nasal saline rinses, rest and hydration is advised. A follow up appt online: healthtap.com/DosanjhMD Code: NCYHPZ
