The Covid-19 (coronavirus) virus, which entered our lives two years ago and changed everything, continues to spread with different variants every day. New symptoms continue to appear every day. The most common condition in many people who have survived Covid-19 is a cough that does not go away.
HOW TO COPE WITH NON-GOING Cough?
A study conducted in May 2021 showed that a Covid-related cough tends to appear as early as a day after infection and typically lasts up to 5 days. In 5% of people, a cough can last for more than four weeks.
The most common symptoms of previous types of infection include cough, fever, intense muscle aches, loss of taste or smell. In very severe cases, more severe symptoms may also occur, such as chest pressure and shortness of breath in severe cases. A cough can be one of the most annoying to try to resolve, as it can be anything from a cold to the flu or a simple sore throat on its own. So how can you distinguish?
HOW DO I Cough AFTER COVID?
Experts emphasize that the cough that comes with Covid-19 is usually dry and should eventually go away on its own. After the irritation, infection and inflammation caused by the virus are cleared, the cough is expected to go away on its own. However, if it does not pass, it is useful to do these!
The good news is that you can relieve a cough with over-the-counter medicines such as cough syrup and throat lozenges after contracting Covid. Herbal teas will also be very good for your body in this process and will play an important role in curing cough.
WHEN TO VISIT THE DOCTOR FOR Cough that does not go away after recovery?
Experts say that you should consult a doctor for coughs that are severe enough to reduce your quality of life, limit your routine, cause breathing problems and last longer than four weeks.
