I have a constant pain in my throat, I have been coughing for 10 days. Difficulty sleeping and swallowing. What should I do?

If you have had a constant sore throat and cough for 10 days, along with difficulty sleeping and swallowing, it is best to let time take its course and try to relieve the pain with over-the-counter medications like Tylenol™ and Advil™. If your symptoms persist after 2 weeks, it would be advisable to see a healthcare professional. In the meantime, focus on staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, consuming cold foods, and taking pain relievers as needed.
