Lasting cough and wheeze

[Needanewadventure2021]

Hi

I tested positive for covid twice in 3 months. The second time was much nastier than the first and come with the breathing problems and cough. The first time didnt.

Anyway I am now 5 weeks negative but my cough, wheeze and breathlessness are absolutely awful still. To the point I am worrying to be honest.

Please can I ask, how long has your symptoms lasted? Should I be speaking to my doctor. It's like a deep wheezy cough. It's horrible

If you’re wheezing it would certainly be worth seeing your doctor. I’m asthmatic & had the same when I had corona but some of my non-asthmatic friends also experienced similar symptoms. There are things your doctor might prescribe once they’ve examined you - from giving you a temporary blue inhaler or steroid tablets to antibiotics if they think you’ve developed a chest infection. I ended up needing all three but others I know improved just with a blue inhaler. Definitely worth seeing a doctor x

If you are wheezing you should see GP, they may give you a steroid inhaler which will help or a chest x ray.

Thank you
