What’s the covid cough like?

[Icantstopeatinglol]

I know people might get it differently but today my test is tight and I’ve a slight cough which feels more like a clearing of throat type of cough and I’d feel stupid going for a test as I’ve no temperature, loss of taste/smell etc?

I've read people saying everything from a bit of a tickle on the throat to full on hacking up a lung.

Mine was a tickle at the start then got worse but not too bad.

DH however sounds like he is coughing up a lung.

Mine started as a tickle in my throat, then was brought in by sneezing, then got more frequent so I had a test . Currently it feels like a productive cough. Now just occasional bouts of coughing. I've lost my sense of smell since testing but never had a temperature.

Mine was barely there and I tested positive now comes back if I’m tired

You only need one symptom to test, not two or three.

Sounds similar to mine. I'd describe it as a "pathetic" cough. Little cough occasionally, worse when doing things. A bit like clearing throat but not very phlegmy.

I thought it wasn't covid but glad I tested because it is.

A new cough is a new cough according to our Occ Health department. Get tested. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks everyone, I think because I exercised for the first time in a while this morning I initially put it down to my asthma (which is mild). I’m immunosuppressed so I’d better be safe.

Mines been a tickle up to now very mild and hoping it stays that way.
My brothers however was awful! Full on coughing fits constantly. He's fine now thought

Though*

I'm fairly certain mine is my asthma, but OH want me to get a test anyway. I figure at least I'll know one way or the other and I'd feel awful if I went into work and gave people covid just because I'd assumed it was asthma.
