Suggest Medication For Influenza

Hello , in the past 2 weeks my daughter had the influenza flu, I got part of it I guess but I don't present fever, mucus or allergy but I have been coughing since January 6 . Now I feel little better but my voice have changed a little and I feel I have something in my throat that is freaking me out because it bothers a little when trying to sleep. Any suggestion?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It is possible that you could have contacted with the influenza virus from your daughter but you remain fairly asymptomatic except for the presentation of cough. It is a viral infection, which is self limiting and would require only supportive management.
Presently, since you do not have any other symptoms, kindly do the following to overcome the symptoms you are having.
Take syrup containing Ambroxyl, Guaphenisin and Chlorpheniramine maleate as ingredients for cough. Do salt water gargling with warm water at least twice a day. You can also take chewable medicated lozenges to get relief of your throat and voice symptoms.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
