I have had a cough for a week now. I am a runner, and have now not ran for a week due to my cough. I am dying to get out for a run but am hesitant because its cold out/bad weather and I think it might irritate my cough and make me sick for longer. Should I run?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, you should avoid running in cold weather because this can worsen your cough. Possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI) related cough is more likely in your case. So avoid cold weather for 1 week. Do following things for better symptomatic relief and fast recovery. 1.  Chat Doctor.
