Suggest Remedy For Productive Cough Following Flu
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic The cough associated with the flu or common cold can sometimes persist for up to 6 weeks after the other symptoms have resolved. The exact reason is not known but it may be due to persisting inflammation in the respiratory tract. Since the cough is productive you can consider the use of a mucolytic to break up the mucus. Examples are bisolvan, mucomyst, aeroflux, guiafensin In addition a cough suppressant may also be helpful. I hope this helps
