I have been experiencing a wet cough with mucus and body aches for the past few days. What should I do to relieve my symptoms?
These symptoms may indicate a viral or bacterial respiratory tract infection, such as the common cold or bronchitis. Management includes adequate rest, increased fluid intake, and steam inhalation to help loosen mucus. Over-the-counter expectorants or antipyretics may provide symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist for more than a week or worsen, consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
