Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you that no point of worry in you. Such symptoms is common and will gradually disappear, till that time you can continue with some home remedy to get rid of cough like puting clove in mouth, doing hot normal saline gargle etc. Please do not discontinue the treatment. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
