I was having fever last week. It lasted for 3 days. Now I am having cough it's not getting diagnosed. I tried many cough syrup still the cough is there. Do I need to get proper attention of a doctor or is it a normal cough. It is like paining in throat while I cough. Please suggest some effective medicines.

You had fever last week which was for 3 days. In 7 days you have tried 'many' cough syrups as per your own version. Do not try various remedies so fast. Your sputum is stuck in your air passages and is not moving out easily. The body is trying to throw it out forcefully by coughing. Don't suppress your cough, but facilitate it out with some expectorant to be taken once before going to bed. Avoid syrups meant for Dry Coughs.

Can wait for 1 15 days if no fever and you are feeling better. Saline gargles and avoid cold and sour food.
