I'm dealing with a really bad chest block and cough, and I just can't shake this cold. It's been three days now, and I haven't been able to sleep at all. I really need some quick relief so I can breathe easier and finally get a good night's rest. What can I do to feel better?

Question

How long does it usually take to test negative for COVID after testing positive? I'm trying to get an idea of what to expect.

I've been dealing with a bad throat cough and mucus for a couple of days now. My doctor gave me Azee and Dolo 650, but I havent started taking Dolo yet and have only had two doses of Azee so far. My fever is still at 100 degrees. Is this normal for a minor throat and seasonal infection? How long is it expected to last?

Question

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past week, and it just won't go away. It especially flares up at night. Could you recommend any over-the-counter dry cough syrups that might help?
