What should be done for someone with a persistent, mild dry cough, nausea, and weakness that has not improved after taking cetrizine for 10 days, Ascoril D cough syrup for 3 days, multivitamins like Supradin and Limcee, Sualine, and home remedies, even though their COVID-19 test was negative after close contact with COVID-19 patients?
Your COVID-19 test was negative. Sometimes, post-viral airway sensitivity can cause a lingering dry cough, and medications or post-nasal drip can trigger nausea. Since your symptoms have not improved after several days, please consult a doctor. They can examine your chest and safely adjust your treatment, perhaps prescribing a specific medicine for nausea or a different cough therapy. For now, prioritize rest, sip warm fluids, and stay well-hydrated.
