Good evening ma'am,
There is no need to panic for simple cough, fever or cold. These conditions can be managed by our own body's immune system. Stay hydrated, drink hot fluids ( soup, rasam ), avoid any triggering factors . However, if the cough persists for longer period, or it is interfering with your daily livelihood, I suggest you visit a general physician, who may assess and assist you.
Health Tips
As much as possible, avoid over the counter cough medications. Some medications are useful for dry cough, and some for productive cough. The pharmacists may not know the difference. Kindly ascertain the medication and it's combination beforehand. And avoid drinking the medication beyond the needed period.
