How Can Cough And Hoarseness Be Treated?

I have had the cold bug that was going around. I actually thought I was better after 2 weeks, for about 4 days, but then it came back. It took a lot of work to get my asthma under control during this, had some rough patches. I am feeling better, almost perfect except I am still very gradually getting rid of the cough. The most troubling part is that my voice has not come back yet, I still sound awful (think cross between Demi Moore and McGruff the Crime Dog). I sing, a lot, so this is very depressing for me.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.

I recommend using a mucolytic to help you with a cough.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.

If the symptoms continue you should use prescribed antibiotics.

You should consult your doctor about this treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
