Viral or post viral: After a viral illness, inflammatory changes may occur resulting in prolonged symptoms after the virus is not replicating in your system anymore. Please use symptomatic relief such as saline gargles and nasal saline rinses. Monitor temperature and report fever or prolonged cough to your PCP.
