I've been dealing with a dry cough for over a month now, and it never seemed to completely go away. Now it's back with that annoying metallic taste in my mouth, and I even had a fever yesterday. I've been trying some home remedies like gargling and taking honey with ginger, thinking it's just a regular throat infection. I'm curious if there's something more going on or if there's anything else I should be doing to get better?
