Suggest Treatment For Persistent Cough
My name is Haley and since Saturday evening I ve had a terrible cough. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said it was Croup and gave me steroids for it. I was just wondering if it was normal for my back and chest to be sore when I breathe in today since I haven t been coughing nearly as much as I was.
