Coughing about week and not getting better with over the counter medications ( mucinex)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You may have: a viral upper respiratory infection and now post-viral cough, which are spasms associated with the posterior pharynx due to ongoing inflammation. Try drinking water to avoid dehydration, take ibuprofen/ tylenol or Aleve daily and plenty of rest. Vitamin C, lemons, garlic also help boost your immune system. If you have fever/ shortness of breath or increasing phlegm, you will need doctor visit
