A member asked:
Is it normal to cough badly and have a loss of appetite for about 8 days? do i have a virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It sounds like you have an upper respiratory virus. If you continue to cough for more than two weeks see a doctor. You should see a doctor sooner if you have fevers and extreme fatigue.
