No fever or chills....?
This is the WORST flu season I have ever seen.
The cough is lasting 4-6 weeks. If you have asthma, bronchitis, or COPD it makes it much worse.
If it is just a cough, I wouldn't worry too much. If she is fatigued and has a cough or is a smoker, then she probably needs a chest x-ray and seen by her provider.
We are finally getting a break this week from the cold and flu season. It has been standing room only at times..... CRAZY!!
