Low Grade Fever With Cough, Burning In Upper Part Of Chest And White Coating On Tongue
I have had a low grade fever (99.1-100.3) for 3 days, accompanied with a cough that feels like it burns in the upper part of my chest when I do so. Just today I noticed a white coating on my tongue. I ve just been taking OTC Mucinex D and iburophen off and on. Should I be concerned about the white tongue?
