Rinsing nasal passages with saline is often effective in reducing the symptoms of cough and congestion. Monitor temperature and breathing. Usually within 10 days there is improvement. COVID-19 and influenza screening may be indicated. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and prolonged cough. If there is a fever for more than two days on antibiotics, please follow up.
