I have had a cough with mucus for the past 7 to 8 days. What should I do?

Asked by Female, 25 · 13 days ago

A cough with mucus for 7 to 8 days is often due to a chest infection or a lingering cold, in which mucus builds up in the airways. Drink warm fluids, take steam, and rest well to help loosen and clear the mucus. Avoid cold drinks, dust, and smoke as they can worsen the cough. If it is not improving, getting worse, or you have a fever or breathing trouble, consult your doctor for proper treatment.
