HI, I began with a dry cough that was followed with a low grade fever (got to 101 at one point)..a lot of coughing, etc. The fever has now subsided the past few days but I am having sudden onset coughing bouts and just today began coughing up very salt sputum, my nose hurts (first time) and my stomach has this awful gnawing sensation..plus I began sneezing now. Is my body expelling the flu and thus in its final phase?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is the progression of your viral illness. It can progress from a Chat Doctor.  The symptoms can change as the illness progresses. You may want to try a bucolic. This would help to break up the mucus so that it would be expelled easier. Examples are bipolar, Robitussin, Mucomyst addition, an antihistamine and cough suppressant would also be helpful. I hope this helps
