Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough

Hi, my name is Jim. I've had the flu for one week now with mainly wet coughs/yellow discharge, no fever, body chills, fatigue, and some nose congestion. Last couple of days my coughs changed to dry and more frequent coughs and my body chills are still there and bothering me a lot. I have to keep myself warm all the time, where as I'm naturally a cold weather person. My fatigue is somewhat still there too. All my doctor prescribed me was Robitussin. What else should I do or take to help recover faster and get rid of the chills?? any advise? Thank you very much. Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
