Hi,

Your symptoms suggestive of viral upper respiratory tract infection or bronchitis. Your symptoms not recovered fully after 10 days.

So you need to investigate further with throat swab culture, chest X-ray and CBC. You can revert back with reports to guide you further.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
