Persistent coughing after a viral flu is common and often due to lingering airway irritation or postnasal drip. Hereâs what can help:
Stay Hydrated: Drink warm fluids like teas or soups to soothe your throat.
Use Steam or Humidifiers: Moist air can ease irritation.
Avoid Irritants: Stay away from smoke, strong odors, and cold air.
Home Remedies: Honey with warm water or ginger tea may provide relief.
If the cough lasts over 3â4 weeks, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
