9 days since negative covid test, but still coughing terribly

[missrainbowbaby]

I tested covid positive on March 16th, was just a cold at the time and a labelling cough for a couple days. Got my first negative March 24th and my second negative March 25th. Yesterday morning I woke up and was coughing again, but it was that dry, raspy, seal type cough. Took another lateral flow and it was negative. Then last night I was hot to touch, my partner had to wake me up to make sure I was okay. Then was in a pool of sweat this morning.

I went to the walk in centre this morning they've said it's viral as my chest is crackling and it was all clear when she checked. And just to rest, take paracetamol and honey and lemon. Today all I've done is sleep, cough hasn't been to bad but when I cough boy do I cough. It's rough. Has anyone had this after they've had covid? I'm so worried about the baby, she's been moving all okay, but I feel so rotten🤢 i was 36 weeks yesterday and I get induced in 2 weeks time so hoping this cough goes by then

This is interesting as I’ve had very similar - 38 weeks and recovered from Covid about 10 days ago so negative but my cough has started again. I never seem to get coughs normally. I’m not taking honey as have gestational diabetes but seems a good idea to.

It’s quite normal for cough for many weeks after covid, even if you didn’t have a cough initially. Hopefully you’ll feel better soon.

@Looseleaf I could of wrote that myself! I never get coughs. Very very rare I ever have. Even before pregnancy if I had a cold it would all be in my nose and head, never a cough. Sore throat yes. But this, my god. I sound like I smoke 95 fags a minute. Feeling very shivery also. I'm just fed up😒
