I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, but I don't have a fever or a persistent cough, although I do get some mucus when I do cough sometimes. I'm pretty worried about what's going on, and I'm wondering what a chest X-ray might reveal about my condition. Could you give me some advice or insights on what I should do next?

I've been dealing with this cough since December 31st. It started with a sore throat and then turned into a cough and later came the colds. The cold has mellowed out now, but this persistent cough is bothering me. It feels like there are tiny hairs or dust particles stuck in my throat, and it's rough and dry, but not much phlegm. I've been taking Mucobron Forte capsules and they help a bit, but the cough's not gone yet and it's been 3 days. Should I keep taking them or maybe switch to Fluimucil? What do you think?

Continue those medicines for a week and rest your throat until you recover,sip hot water and dosalt water gargling for a better result.
