Severe cough and weakness

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I have had a ongoing cough for now past two weeks. Earlier, it was a dry cough and I took a prescribed cough syrup for that. However, it wasn't very effective and I had little relief. Now, the dry cough has become wet cough, and I am feeling a bit of weakness too. Please suggest something, that preferably doesn't involve lots of tests.
