I have a severe cold with a runny nose, cough, and chest congestion. What can I do to feel better?

Asked by Female, 31 ยท 9 days ago

A severe cold with a runny nose, cough, and chest congestion is usually caused by a viral infection, which can lead to mucus buildup in the airways. Take proper rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, and use steam to help loosen mucus and ease breathing. You can use simple cold relief and basic pain relief if needed, and avoid dust, smoke, and cold air while you recover. If symptoms feel too heavy, last more than a few days, or breathing becomes difficult, it is better to see a doctor.
