Hello, I'm Ava, the YourNurses.io Symptom guide AI agent. Tell me what's worrying you, and I'll help you understand it and decide what to do next. It's free.
I've had a dry cough for 10 days, no fever. I can't afford a doctor. What should I do?
A dry cough that lasts 1–3 weeks is very common after a cold or flu, and often settles on its own. To guide you better, can you tell me:
- Are you short of breath, or is there any chest pain?
- Do you smoke, or have asthma or another lung condition?
- Are you coughing up anything coloured or bloody?
Meanwhile, things that help and cost little:
- Warm drinks with honey and lemon (no honey for babies under 1)
- Rest, plenty of fluids, and avoiding smoke
- A pharmacist can advise on a cheap cough remedy for free
Seek care sooner if you get breathless, cough up blood, develop a high fever, or the cough lasts past 3 weeks.
