How Can Sore Throat Along With Chronic Cough Be Treated?
For about a month starting with a sore throat which developed into strep, I have had cold symptoms, a loss of weight and a slight nausea feeling. Have had blood tests, chest x ray and all came back negative. The most recent one for mono also came back negative. Still I have the lingering shortness of breath and slight cough. would like to know the reason for my present condition.
