I have had a similar illness. I caught a cold from my grandson, got over that and caught it again. It got worse this time and became bronchial I think. I had a deep cough with congestion and a deep bronchial cough. It stuck with me for several weeks and I am just now getting over it. Honey is good for a cough. Hot tea like chamimile is soothing as well. Fisherman's Friend cough drops are good for a cough. THey don't taste the greatest but are good for the cough.

why not visit to a doctor for proper medication coz theres different kind of colds and cough. Sometimes its only allergy,virus or bacterial though bacterial is dangerous as it can lead to pneumonia whih is more added expenses if hospitalize specially for older people like what happened to pidol. Normally doctor advice tjat of its only 3 days theres no need of medication as a lot of fluids and citrus is recommended but if ts already lasr to 5-7days then it can be virus that need medication and more than that is that we need to figure out by visiting doctor. It hsppened to my daughter until she had difficulty breathing due to so many pleghm inside her lungs that cause her pneonia and she was hospitalized for a week.
