Coughing after cold like symptoms
Hi,
I had cold for two weeks. I had fever for a few days and cough was persistent. It got worse and then better. I still have cough mostly dry cough but sometimes white phlegm comes out. It has been a week since I got my energy back and I feel fully fine but the cough is still there and it's causing my ribs to pain a bit at the end of the day. Next day I feel fine. Cough doesn't wake me up or anything. My pulse oximeter result is normal as well at 99%. PEF is 550 and above. I am 35 yrs, 167cm, 64.5kg. BMI is normal. I am fit in good shape.
