I have a bad cough from past three days. I initially got cold and cough together, I took azithromycin for infection and had benadryl. The cold got treated within one day but the cough is still there and it sometimes (rarely) gives me mild fever. The cough is sometimes with mucus and the rest of the times when I take a deep breath it is very heavy. It is like something heavy is on my chest. I am a smoker but haven't smoked since the cough went bad. Kindly suggest treatment.

Quit smoking. Smoker are more prone to have pronged cough after URC. Saline gargles and steam inhalation will help.
