<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have weak muscles, and body just aches. I am freezing although I have a heating pad and lots of blankets. The cough I have has gotten worse and more frequent in the last 24 hours. I picked up some Theraflu severe cough and cold, would there be other things I can do besides the norm of lots of rest, and liquids? About how long can I expect to feel this way?  <response>: HI, Welcome to Chat Doctor, I read your query and I appreciate your concern regarding this issue.
