How can i stop a chest cough that's been going on for more then 3 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic cough: It could be a simple viral infection that has a residual ongoing cough or its possible that its now developing into a bacterial infection. You need to visit your doctor who can examine your chest to see if you need antibiotics at this stage. You can also try simple home remedies such as steam inhalation or ginger and honey mixtures to soothe the throat irritation.
