Post covid cough

[Tr12]

Hi has anyone still got an annoying dry post covid cough ? I’m week 4 now still got this horrible cough that makes you feel drained if you have a coughing fit . Ok if you sit and don’t start moving around.. but still coughing just not as much … but if you do it starts it off 😔… still off work as I’m a community nurse ! Coughing is causing migraines also 😔really fed up … anyone else in the same boat ??

I don’t want to depress you, OP, but I still have it 19 months after being hospitalised with Covid! Along with fatigue, breathlessness, endlessly discharging sinuses and bouts of stomach upset. Long Covid is the pits.

Omg you poor thing that’s awful …you’ve had a rough run of it in the beginning and still have a rough time of it that’s not fair 😔..hugs to you … I’m just hoping 🤞🏻It’s not long covid

4 weeks is still early days, OP, in terms of Covid. Get as much rest as you can, and let things settle. The majority of patients don’t go on to develop long Covid (lucky bastards!) and you don’t need to worry yet.

I hope you both get better soon.
I only really had a cough. The first three months were the worst. Now I am ok most of the time, I hardly ever get stress incontinence. I can be completely ok for a couple of weeks then it’s getting less prolonged when it does happen. It’s nearly ten months now and I think it will all be over by Christmas.

I didn’t have a cough with Covid but then a week after my 10 days later started with the dry cough and croaky voice. It’s really dragging on and sometimes just starts up again so I have a bad night sleep very annoying.
