I'm really starting to get worried because I've had this cough and cold for two weeks now, and it's not a dry cough. I've already gone through a whole bottle of Reswas syrup, but it didn't really do anything. I even tried taking Grillintus BM for a day, but I had to stop because I experienced some side effects. What should I do next? Is there something else I can try?

Considering your persistent cough and cold for two weeks, and unsuccessful treatment with Reswas syrup and Grillintus BM, consult me with detaoiled history to reassess your condition, as you may need a different medication or a combination of treatments, such as a mucolytic agent, expectorant, or antihistamine, and in the meantime, try symptomatic relief measures like steam inhalation, saline nasal sprays, and warm liquids.

I'm dealing with a cold right now, and I notice I'm sweating a lot even though I don't have a fever. Is it typical to experience excessive sweating with just a runny nose and cough? My cold symptoms seem to be improving, but the sweating is still intense, even when I'm not doing anything. Should I be concerned about this?

Excessive sweating without fever, accompanied by a cold, can be attributed to your body's response to the infection, hormonal changes, or overproduction of mucus, and in your case, it may be a sign that your body is fighting off the infection,

I've been dealing with some lingering symptoms after testing negative for COVID. It's been 26 days since I initially tested positive, but I'm still experiencing a mild fever, mild cough, and body aches. I noticed my CRP levels are at 4.4, which is double what they were before I had COVID. I'm just wondering, what should I do about this?

Can you help me understand the symptoms of coronavirus? I've had a headache and fever for 23 days. My fever was 100 on the first day, but now it's around 98 or 99. I also have a sore throat. Last week, I took cold showers on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I'm not sure if that's why I'm feeling this way or if there's another reason. Could you please advise?
