Suggest Treatment For Cough And Chest Congestion

I have had a flu virus with coughing and chest issues, congestion etched for 6 weeks. One day I might feel a bit better and the next day I feel terrible again. Today I felt great all day and now this evening the back of my tongue hurts when I talk or when I move the back of tongue in my throat. Is this the flu virus taking hold again?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
It is unlikely to be flu alone for 6 weeks or so. So kindly get yourself evaluated.It would be advisable for you to get a chest x ray done. As lung infection cannot be ruled out with 6 weeks history.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
