I have had a cough for almost a month now, tried z pack and it didn't work, now im starting to get a sore throat, what should i do?

Cough: Can be difficult to treat as it is often multifactorial. If you developed it after a respiratory infection then it is possible that the finger like projections that line your airway were damaged by the bacteria or virus that caused you to have symptoms. Try inhaled steroid which would also be effective in treating new onset asthma which can also cause cough. Does require prescription!
