A member asked:
Coughing for 2 weeks now, sometimes it reaches out to my chest when i cough and also been spitting out white phlegm, no fever but there's a pain in my throat... will the coughing go away eventually ?

Yes, it is not unusual after an upper respiratory infection for a cough to linger several weeks. Stay hydrated. It is sometimes useful to take an over-the-counter supplement that contains dextromethorphan, usually abbreviated as DM. Hope this helps while you are recovering. Good luck.f
