What are out-of-network costs?
The length of time a cough lasts after a respiratory virus (like the common cold).
What is 3-6 weeks?
Coughs last much longer than people expect, but a dry cough by itself does NOT mean that you need antibiotics! Most coughs after a cold will resolve within three weeks, but a cough CAN persist up to 6 weeks. As long as your cough is slowly getting better (not keeping you from sleeping, no fevers), you are following the expected course. Taking OTC (over-the-counter) cough suppressants that contain dextromethorphan (DM) often helps.
This is who you should contact if you have food allergies and nutrition concerns, or to schedule a dining hall tour.
