Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant coughing and weakness which is mainly because of upper respiratory tract infection and it could be due to granular pharyngitis. Need not to worry about it. You should visit general physician once and get it examined. Symptoms resembling flu and normally takes 3 days for viral fever to go. Take crocin every 4 hourly. Acetaminophen is also effective and you can take that as well. Take proper rest without any discomfort. Drink plenty of fluids. If cough is exaggerating you should go for chest X-ray, blood and sputum test. If it is bacterial infection start with proper course of antibiotics. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
