Evaluation: Rinse nasal passages with saline and keep well hydrated. Monitor for fever and if you have prolonged cough > 3 weeks or chest discomfort, please see a physician. Most likely you had a viral illness which is lingering, but will resolve with a little bit more time.

I've had flu like symptoms for four weeks, and now I have developed a cough that hurts chest, has mucus and feels very dry in the throat. What is it?
Good day. For the past 9 days I have had a sore throat, dry cough, blocked sinus, for the first few days a mild fever, and for the past two days a slightly tight chest. Should I be concerned or would this probably be the seasonal flu? No travelling.
