You might have a lingering viral cough or mild throat infection. Since itâs been 10 days, it's best to get checked to rule out any infection.
What you can do for now:
1] Stay hydrated and take warm fluids.
2] Try steam inhalation to loosen mucus.
3] Avoid cold drinks and dusty places.
Health Tips
Since the cough is still there, Iâd recommend a quick online consultation to check if any medication is needed. Letâs get it sorted! ð

Dear Patient,
A persistent wet cough with yellow mucus and throat discomfort for 10 days suggests a likely **respiratory tract infection**, such as acute bronchitis or a mild sinusitis draining into the throat. Here’s what you should know:
1. Possible Causes:
- Postnasal drip (from sinus/nasal inflammation)
- Acute bronchitis (viral or early bacterial)
- Mild pneumonia (if symptoms worsen)
2. Current Symptoms:
- The shift from yellow to scant mucus may indicate resolving infection, but lingering cough warrants evaluation.
3. Caution with Self-Medication:
- Antibiotics (like Cefixime) are unnecessary unless bacterial infection is confirmed. Overuse can lead to resistance.
- Zerodol SP (painkiller) and Montek LC (antiallergic) may mask symptoms without addressing the root cause.
4. Next Steps:
- Hydration & Steam Inhalation: Helps loosen mucus.
- Avoid irritants: Smoke, cold foods/drinks.
- Monitor: Fever, worsening mucus color, or breathlessness need urgent attention.
Consultation Advised:
A physical exam (throat, chest, lymph nodes) and tests (if needed, like CBC or chest X-ray) can pinpoint the issue. Let’s ensure this isn’t progressing or complicating.
For a thorough assessment, reach out to me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two**.
