I have a severe cough and cold from 2 weeks. In the beginning there was only sore throat and dry cough. But now it has developed to wet cough with running nose and sneeze with phlegm.

Hi, Cough for more than 2 weeks need to be investigated. Was there also any breathlessness, blood in sputum or fever. Any treatment u had? You should get a chest x-ray, sputum gram stain and AFB for 2 days..and complete blood count. You should get antibiotics and expectorants.
