I am suffering from cough from the past one week. With the onset of winters in Delhi I also suffer from chest congestion and breathlessness. I am having chest pain and back pain also. Do I have any lungs problem? Do I have TB? Do I have asthma? What should I do?

Over-the-counter (OTC) cough medications with an expectorant such as guaifenesin work by clearing the mucus and other secretions of a productive cough so that you can breathe easier. Take a cough suppressant. ... Sip green tea. ... Stay hydrated. ...
