Suggest Treatment For Cold And Cough When Diagnosed With Shingles

My husband was treated recently for shingles. He finished his medication last week. He developed a head cold with a cough. It hasn t been going away. He took some alka seltzer cold stuff today without reading the package. He came home from work today with one side of his upper lip very swollen. Thoughts?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, past history of virus and present history of cough are not related with each other, cough and cold could be due to allergy or viral infection and that does not needs any specific treatment but would be fine in few days, no need to worry about this hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
