My sickness started with a sore/raw throat and has developed into a dry cough in my chest and drainage in my ears along with pain and probably inflammation. I have been doing natural remedies for coughs, sore throat, and ear pain such as onion cough syrup and apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball for my ear. I do cough up some mucus in the morning but my cough is dry. Do I need to see a doctor or can I continue to treat this at home?
