I'm in my 20s and otherwise healthy.
I caught COVID around 2 years ago, and ever since then when I catch a cold it tends to result in a high pitched, wheezy cough which lingers for a few weeks. I saw a nurse practitioner last year after having a cough for 6 weeks after a common cold and they said my lungs sounded normal and it was just a stubborn virus. By then, the wheezing cough had stopped.
I currently have another cold, and it's given me a tickly throat which is making me cough, but the cough is a dry cough that is very wheezy and high pitched. I had never had a wheeze when coughing before I had COVID.
I don't have any other issues, no chest pain or back pain, no breathlessness. My family have caught the same virus and have been having coughing fits too but they don't have the wheezy noise.
Do you think this warrants a visit to the GP? Part of me thinks it's just a normal but annoying symptom of a cold.
