Is Cough And Sore Throat Caused Due To Flu?
had the flu since last Friday, the temp has gone but the cough isn't going away, keeping me up all night,seems to be worse at night. I feel exhausted. now my gums have stated to be inflamed like I have tooth aches, where I have a plate in my mouth. and now along with the cough the left side of my throat/neck is really sore and seems to be getting worse. is this all from the flu or is there a sinus infection happening as well.

Hello!
It is possible that you are developing a sinus infection as well and may have even developed a mild lung infection. You should get yourself checked as you may need antibiotics also!
for the time being start steam inhalation 3-4 times a day!
thanks
