Why has my cough and influenza lasted 10 days?
Asked by Male, 40 · 2 months ago
Due to post-viral throat and airway inflammation, a cough or flu might linger for seven to fourteen days. Low immunity, allergies, or pollution exposure may cause recovery to be slower. If you have a fever, dyspnea, or a worsening cough, consult a physician.
