Seems you are recovering from an upper resp tract infection and sometimes it takes a few days for it to clear up. Drink plenty of fluids, try a humidifier at night and an OTC cough medicine. You should be OK in a few days. Good luck

If you have fever or a cough for more than 3 weeks, please follow up with your physician. A COVID-19 test is recommended, treat symptoms and watch for shortness of breath. Stay well hydrated and rest. Have a Flu vaccination soon. Most respiratory infections resolve within 10 days .
