What Causes Persistent Cough And Sinus Congestion Despite Taking Tylenol?
I have a cough that started about 5 days ago, no fever, no nausea, no sinus congestion.I am cold and my back & stomach are sore from coughing. I do not have a headache, I do have some mucous and it is clear. Cough syrup does not help, tylenol eases the sore back & stomach. It does seem like I am coughing less; however, it is still very annoying and really makes me tired. Any suggestions? rlr

Looks like bronchitis from the symptoms that you have mentioned. Some more details are needed to reach a diagnosis.
-Are you a smoker?
-Do you have such episodes often?
-If yes, then do they recur in a particular season?
-Do you have any allergic history like allergy to drugs or food items?
-Any blood investigations you have done or X-Ray reports available.
Kindly revert with these details if possible. Thank you.
