Covid Cough

I just wondered how long a cough can last after having Covid? I feel alot better generally now (tested positive on PCR test ten days ago) but still have the cough hanging on.

Is there anything I can do/take to help the cough go away?

My cough hung on until around day 13 maybe. Feel for you. It was awful. It gradually lessened though, so certainly wasn't anywhere near as bad then as when it was at its worst.

Just strepsils, vicks vapour rub, good ventilation, try lemsip as has decongestant in, try propping yourself up when in bed

It took 6 weeks to go with DH. Ended up needing steroids. Hope yours goes sooner!
