Cough following pulmonary infections is common, sometimes protracted and ensuring clearance of secretions. If you notice a sudden change towards worsening cough or fever for example that will be the time to seek medical attention, ideally from your doc.

Agree with Dr. P. You may use warm, salty water gargles and a mucolytic agent like Mucinex. To stay hydrated, drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!

What's he best way to tame a group of people during these Covid times when we come together and engage and food is involved? I hate seeing people unmasked near food. Should I invest in those masks that unzip at the mouth but leave the nose covered?
