Persistent cough and cold
Hello, I have persistent cold and cough from the past 15 days. I have visited a general physician and the medicines haven't helped completely eradicate the cough. I have never had a history of such persistent cold. Also, googling the issue scares me of throat cancer results as I am a regular smoker (3-4 smokes/day). Please advice. Should I visit a ENT specialist or is it treatable with normal medicines?
