Cough: If the cough is improving, then adequate sleep and hydration and tincture of time should fix it. Some post-viral bronchospasm can even last up to 6 weeks to 3 months, but usually will resolve within 2 weeks. Is asthma or emphysema a problem? Is the cough worsening? If so, seeing your physician for follow-up is a good plan.

Mgt: It really depends on your history as well. A virtual in box appointment can be booked online to determine the next step. Avoid smoke exposure, rest, hydration and continue prescribed inhalers.
