A member asked:
Last week, i had a cold. my throat no longer hurts and i am feeling better, i am left with this cough that won't go away. what could this be?

Cough: residual airway irritation/inflammation. If does not resolve in another week, see MD. Drink at least two quarts of water/day, no smoking, no alcohol, use mask if exposed to particulates, stay away from others with colds.
