I have been coughing for 6 days without a sore throat (no fever). Should I be worried? How long is it supposed to take to heal? How can I relieve it?

It is recommended to wash your hands frequently, cough into your elbow, and use products like Sinus Rinse™ to reduce the amount of mucus in your throat. If you experience a sore throat, you can take Tylenol™ for relief. Typically, a cough lasts less than 3 weeks, so it is not necessary to worry at this time.
