How Can Cough And Sore Throat Be Treated?
Hello, I am a male 27 year old non-smoker and i have had a dry cough for about 7 weeks now. I feel completely fine other than the cough and a sore throat occasionally. Happens mostly when I talk or have a long conversation/laugh. Doesn t happen when I sleep but can t quite figure out what s causing it. What can I try to make it go away?
