What Causes Cold And Chest Congestion With Coughing?

I have been fighting a cold/cheast congestion with severe bouts of coughing. Never had this before. And it s been literally YEARS since I have been sick. I have noticed that urine smells almost menthol ish. My appetite has been next to nothing, so I m sure its not what I have eaten. Just started taking a cough syrup, but noticed odour before that. Could I also have a UTI?

Hello

The odor in the urine may be due to increase concentration of urine , as yo may be taking less fluids. You seem to have developed a lower respiratory tract infection and will need antibiotics for it.
Please dont delay and meet your doctor for the prescription.

Take care
