I've been googling this question but the results seem conflicting. Ok, a dry cough doesn't produce phlegm, but is it the same thing as a tickly cough or a bit different?
Particularly keen to know from anyone who's definitely or almost certainly had covid, what was the cough like?
What's prompted me to ask is that I had a persistent tickly cough for over a week. Very unusual for me as I tend to get a chesty cough that turns into a wheezy cough, if I have a cold. Various other symptoms, mainly fatigue and generally feeling "unwell", but no raging temperature, just a sort of light-headed clammy hot flush type feeling on a few occasions. I assumed it wasn't covid because I thought it affected the lungs (expected a dry, wheezy cough) and didn't have an obvious high temperature.
