Have you put a sputum sample in with your GP? it would help to know if there is an infection that needs antibiotics, it,s possible you mat have picked up a bug since your viral infection, hope you get it sorted soon. Karen

I agree with sillywitch the sounds like you have an infection and it won't go away on its own take a sputum sample in.
