I have had a cough for about 10 days. Should I be concerned, and what can help reduce it?

Asked by Male, 32 ยท 19 days ago

A cough lasting about 10 days is often due to a lingering viral infection or throat irritation after a cold. Drink warm fluids, do steam inhalation, keep your throat warm, avoid dust and cold exposure, and stay hydrated to reduce irritation. Rest well, avoid smoking or strong smells, and notice if the cough is dry or with phlegm. If it continues beyond a few more days, worsens, or you get a fever or breathing issues, consult a doctor to check the cause and guide proper treatment.
