I have a cough. It's not CV, I've had it since February

[Tonyaster]

But it's making being out and about really embarrassing. It's dry and not constant but worse if I talk. How the hell can I get rid of it so I don't frighten everyone around me?!

Any idea of the cause?

Did you have a cold?

Yes me too, IV had it for about 15 months, not a smoker, had chest x-ray. It's gastrointestinal, possibly a post nasal drip cough, but it sounds like I'm very ill.

Same here, I had flu over Xmas then had a few wks feeling well. I've now had my cold/cough for nearly 10wks. Wondering if I catch CV will I have a different cough and know it's new

Thanks. I had flu about a month ago and it's residual from that.

My child is the same, was ill the beginning of January, been coughing since then, he is fine, but it's not nice to be out with him.
