Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough And Influenza
I have a consistent cough now for the last month. It started after a bout with the flu, which started approx. 2 months ago. All flu symptoms are gone except for this cough. There is small amount of phlegm being coughed up. All other symptoms of the flu are completely gone. Is there any way I can get rid this cough?

Thanks for your query
Warm salt water gargling 2 to 3 times daily may help a lot in relieving this symptom. In the mean while you should collect your sputum sample and get one culture and sensitivity done. This will check for the presence of any bacterial infection and if any antibiotic treatment is needed. Do consult your doctor with the report.
Take care and get well soon.
