I had viral fever 5 days ago and completed my course, but I am now suffering from a cough. Please advise.

Dr S Aneela · Accepted Answer

A cough following a viral fever is common because the airways may remain irritated for a few days. Continue to rest, drink plenty of fluids, use warm fluids or steam inhalation to soothe the throat, and consult a doctor if the cough persists, worsens, or affects sleep, as they may recommend a suitable cough medicine.
