"I have been coughing for about 2 weeks but I don't have any other symptoms of the flu or anything else."

If you have been coughing for about 2 weeks without any other flu symptoms, it could be due to a virus. In this case, you can try gargling with salt water, drinking plenty of water, using honey for throat soothing, and taking acetaminophen for pain relief. However, if the cough persists for 3 weeks or more, it is advisable to consult a doctor as it may be caused by a bacterial infection that could require antibiotics. Take care and get well soon.
