How Can severe Cough And Fever Be Treated?

I had a cold at the beginning of December, with most symptoms resolving after about a week. However, I can t shake the coughing and intermittent low-grade fever (99.4-99.8, only once over 100). Is this normal? FYI, 63 year-old female, on high BP meds, but otherwise healthy. Did get my flu shot this year! Live in the LA area, so not sure what is going around out here. Thanks in advance, and happy new year!

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Dear Patient,

I would recommend that if the situation repeats again you take high dose paracetamol 700 mg- 3 times a day, antihistamines and Vitamin C.

Also, please stay very well hydrated, drink fresh juices and warm herbal teas.
Eat soup every day and consider eating fresh fruits after every meal.

Consider eating 4 times a day.

Hope this helped.

Best Regards,
Dr. Eni
