HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persistent coughing may indicate that you have bronchitis or pneumonia.
This can be viral or bacterial. If bacterial then antibiotics may be needed.
The use of a mucolytic to help break up the mucus so that it can be expelled, would be helpful. Eg bisolvan, mucomyst, guaifenesin.
The decrease in senses would be due to involvement of the sinuses, ears, nasal passage.
Antihistamines and decongestants may help.These are over the counter.
I hope this helps
