Cold since 8 days
Hi, I have a very bad cold since 8 days. 1 night I had fever but no more again.
Phlegm and mucus is very thick and it's in lungs, throat, airways EVERYWHERE.
Wet cough and wheezing sounds in the chest.
I took medicines like coldfiz, coldmine,cofcross, etc... like once the pharmacist gave me coldfiz and cofcross I guess, 3 tablets each. Then after 2 days of gap I went back he gave me coldmine and cofcross.
Kindly guide me without any medication what can be done to recover from this.
And based on the symptoms, what is your best diagnosis.
Please write it instead of asking for a paid consultation, kind request 🙏.

A lording to your symptoms you are having bronchitis..you can recover this but it will take around 1 to 2 weeks ..you should get steam inhalation 3-4 times a day and 3-4 times saline gargles in a day.and avoid dust smoke if possible.

wet cough, wheezing sounds in the chest, and very thick mucus throughout your airways after a cold are highly suggestive of Acute Bronchitis.
Next Steps
Since you requested guidance without further medication, you can use these techniques to help your body clear the mucus naturally Steam Therapy 15 minutes twice daily. Use a cool mist humidifier in your room at night to prevent your airways from drying out.Drink lot of water daily. Hydration is the most natural way to thin mucus so your body can cough it out. Warm liquids like herbal teas or warm lemon water with honey are particularly soothing. If the mucus is deep in your lungs, use gravity to help it move. Lie on your back or side with your hips elevated by pillows for 10minutes. This helps the mucus drain toward your throat where itâs easier to expel. Sleep Elevated Use a wedge pillow or extra pillows to prop your head up at night. This prevents mucus from pooling in your chest and helps reduce the urge to cough while sleeping
Health Tips
you must see a doctor if you have difficulty breathing or gasping for air. Fever returns or stays high Coughing up blood or rust colored mucus. no improvementt at all after 2 weeks.
