"Have you had a cold and been coughing for a week?"

If you have had a cold and have been coughing for a week, it is normal for the cough to be the last symptom to disappear. It is best to stay hydrated with either cold or hot liquids, and a teaspoon of honey can be just as effective as cough syrup. It is also advisable to consider nasal hygiene with saline water solutions to help alleviate nasal secretions that may be causing the cough. If your cough worsens or persists beyond two weeks, it is recommended to consult a doctor.
