@otter2154- Good morning. If you are improving wouldn't you suspect that it is asthma meds that are doing this? Sometimes it takes a while for asthma meds to kick in. Have you been tested for antibodies for COVID-19?

Those symptoms also sound as if you might have had another virus or even the flu. I think that we forget that there are other "bugs" out there other than COVID-19.

Anything is possible with COVID-19 tests. They aren't 100% accurate. However, your cough and mucus are sure signs of Asthma. Would you be willing to get an anti-body test? Have you received any of the vaccines yet? How did you do with those?

I got my first of two Pfizer doses this past Tuesday (second one on April 20th). I felt poorly later that evening but bounced back the next day. I have been told that you will test pos on the anti-body test after the vaccine (but who knows). You raise good points. Thanks.
