...Upper respiratory: 39 y/o Female says I have a bad cough which makes my chest burn and my throat hurts. My voice has also become hoarse. Sounds more like a Viral Upper respiratory Infection like Flu. Rest, drink warm fluids to prevent dehydration, Ibuprofen/Panadol for Fever/Aches/ Pains; Saline gargle/Decongestants to slow the Post nasal drip often responsible for the tickle in throat and cough. See PCP if still..
