How long for this dry cough to go?

[Clisthalea77]

I woke with a bit of a sore throat 9 days ago, but no other real symptoms. This soon disappeared but then I developed a dry cough which has worsened really every day - I thought I'd be improving at this stage, not worsening. I can feel this slight tickle on the right side of my chest and need to keep coughing to relieve it. I've taken a cough bottle last 2 days only but no relief yet.

I don't normally get coughs or cold, so is this lasting unusually long?

I have Covid and my symptoms are just as you described.

I did 3 covid tests last week - all negative

Ah well I can't help! Only to say I had a sore throat that went then a cough. I also had a fever which was why I tested. The cough is bloody annoying.
