Describe to me your COVID cough

[MegaGengar]

Having a tricky time with a family member with a cough over the definition of “continuous cough”.

For those who have had a cough with COVID, please could you describe your cough to me?

Was it coughing non stop for a few minutes at a time? Or as single cough every 10 mins? Or just a clearing of your throat?

Thank you.

Mine was chesty - the same I have when I get a cold. At the height of it I probably coughed maybe 1 cough every couple of hours. Not much at all!

Mine was initially a very occasional dry, tickly cough but only first thing and last thing, when I was taking my inhaler.

It gradually worsened until I was pretty much constantly coughing. It lasted about 8 weeks in the end and I'm still experiencing rib pain about 4 weeks after the cough stopped.

I have ordered a test today as have developed a slightly phlegmy cough and a high temp. Had cold like symptoms the past couple of days. LFTs were negative so didn't think about PCR until I've been coughing all afternoon.

My cough was dry and tickly

Like a regular cough really. Coughing on & off throughout the day. Relatively dry. Worse at night laying down. It wasn’t anything awful but also quite annoying. It kept me awake for a few days.

Same here. I found propping myself up at night with extra pillows helped.

My daughter currently has covid she's 8 and her cough is getting worse as I'm she's coughing more on day 5. It's not chesty though more dry and annoying. I was just wondering how long it lasts? I thought it would have calmed down. I think she's had covid since last weekend now I think back to her having a headache.

I ended up getting COVID and I was out of my 10 day isolation yesterday. I’m coughing more now than I did in the first 10 days! I’ve heard the cough can last for weeks/months…

Horrendous cough like I’ve never experienced before, thought about buying tena ladies
