Just that…it started yesterday and been ongoing. Should I be concerned?

Unfortunately coughs can last ages and linger for longer. If you are having no issues with breathing I wouldn't be concerned. I can understand how frustrating it is though. I actually already had a cough, then I caught covid from Dp, mix that in with covid symptoms and the damn cough got worse, not nice but I found Covonia helped greatly and thankfully mine cleared up pretty quick after that.

my daughter has recently had a cough for 3 months lingering from a non covid virus! Coughs are bloody awful đŸ˜ª

We're at 3 weeks in this household and still coughing. It's worse in the morning and after eating. It does linger.

It took me until day 8 for it to start to ease up

It started to ease around day 3 but took a while to go fully. I also got all the other symptoms as it eased.

Took a bit over a week for me to stop coughing like a maniac and it got better. 3 weeks later I occasionally cough through the day but it's pretty much gone now.

The sleeping has been horrific and I don't know if it's covid related but I've had the worst insomnia over the past 3 weeks and now I have the fear of not sleeping so it's a viscious cycle. Been better over the past week though so fingers crossed I get over it.

I’m on day 2/3 (2nd day since test and full in symptoms but started sneezing Thursday). Cough is bloody awful tonight but it’s really mucusy which I didn’t expect.

I had a really nasty Adenovirus in April which had a 5 week cough. I’m only just over that! GP gave me an inhaler for that though (I’m not asthmatic) so I am
still using that and it does help.

My pelvic floor has given up though, after the last virus and this I’m in need of tena lady.
