I've been dealing with a sore throat and fever about ten days back. I took antibiotics and got better, but I'm still having this annoying buildup of phlegm and my throat feels irritated. Every time I cough, there's phlegm and occasionally a bit of pain. I'm really looking for something that can help fix this lingering issue. Any advice?
