Question

Asked for Female, 23 Years

I caught cold and had throat mucus or cough but it feels like its still stuck there. I am feeling something everytime i drink or eat. Initially it was no pain , later on i started to get pain and sore throat till ears. I agree i shampooed at night within these days. Also went on a trip where ac and cold etc might lead to not getting fine. Last 2 3 days i am drinking a cough syrup and strepsils. I also have smoked since 3 years not a heavy smoker, not at all, but occasionally sometimes more but yeah. Do i need to worry about something serious or get a check up, if yes what?

You seem to be suffering from post viral cough which is a common type of dry cough syndrome after an attack of viral upper respiratory tract infection. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. You can use strepsils like lozenges for symptomatic relief
