Prolonged coughing with phlegm
I am a male 29y. I have had prolonged coughing for close to 1 month already. It is a cough with phlegm mostly. A local clinic doctor has prescribed a cough syrup and phlegm tablet medicine which has alleviated my coughing but now i have a constant block nose. Should i be worried that these are sign of the Covid-19? Am currently work from home but recently i have went out to purchase groceries.
