What Causes Sore Throat Followed By Cold And Cough?
Hi, I caught a cold about a month ago from my son. It started with a sore throat and runny nose. The runny nose lasted for 3 weeks, but I still have an occasional cough that now after a month always brings up yellow thick mucus and it tastes awful. I m not sure what is wrong.

Hello,
You may be suffering from pharyngitis with lower respiratory tract infection. Use tablet Amoxicillin with clavulinic acid 625 mg twice a day for five days. Use syrup ascoryl two teaspoons thrice a day. Drink plenty of hot liquids. Take rest for five days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
