Throat pain and cough
I am a 39 year old living outside of India. Almost a month ago I was down with a viral which had a mild relapse again after 2 weeks. I took antibiotics (Enhancin 625mg) and there was some recovery. Now after a week of stopping the antibiotics, my cough still hasnt gone and my throat hurts again. The cough has decreased a lot but still a dry cough and when I cough, the throat hurts in the neck area. I also find myself breathless and hard to talk and with a hoarse voice. Is this all part of post viral recovery? Does it take so long?
