I have been having this dry, nonproductive cough. I feel this down in my chest. I feel achy almost like the flu, but have been running a low-grade temp. This has been going on for a few days now. Anytime I have had a cold, I have started with a sore throat, but my throat hasn't been sore, or swollen. Any ideas on what this could be?

I would like to add that I am in good health, and don't smoke, drink or do drugs! Just thought that would be important!

Hi there! My suggestion is to talk to your dr or pharmacist about it. It might be a number of things and I am no Dr.
Good luck!
