A cough and cold that continues for more than 2 weeks after fever can be due to a lingering infection, allergy, or sinus irritation. Drink warm fluids, do steam inhalation, keep your throat warm, and avoid dust or cold exposure to help with recovery. Stay hydrated, rest well, and note whether symptoms worsen at certain times or with specific triggers. If it is not improving or keeps coming back, consult a doctor to check the cause and guide proper treatment.
