Key Information:

  • Rest is Essential: Your body needs energy to fight the virus. Do not try to push through the illness; take time to recover.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids helps thin the mucus in your chest, making it easier to cough up and clear the infection.
  • Manage Symptoms: Simple painkillers like paracetamol can help reduce fever and relieve aches and pains.
  • Soothe Your Cough: A warm honey and lemon drink is often an effective natural remedy for soothing a persistent cough.
  • Recovery Timeline: Be aware that it is normal for a cough to last for two to three weeks while your airways heal.
