WOODLAND PARK - Cough

Dr. Kari Uusinarkaus with Colorado Springs Health Partners says, he's seen a lot of cough in the community.

It's viral in nature, and typically resolves on its own after 7 to 10 days.

Along with the cough, you may also have a runny nose and sore throat.

Treat the symptoms with over-the-counter medication.

But, if you also develop a fever, chest pains, shortness of breath or symptoms that last longer than 10 days, see you doctor.

It could be a more serious infection.
