Post Covid Severe Cough almost 2 years later

Posted by kitty2 @kitty2, Sep 28, 2023

Hi..anyone out there suffering from a severe cough Post Covid..I had Covid December of 2021. I have been coughing for almost one month now...nothing is helping. They did chest xrays..no pneumonia, but I sure feel like I did when I had the initial Covid infection almost two years ago. I am wondering if I had Covid again in the last month. Unable to work again. Severe coughing and wheezing. This is sure getting old. Sincerely Kitty2

Hi Colleen working from home is not an option for me..I will look at some of the discussions that you have mentioned in your reply. This cough is unreal. I feel like I did when I first had Covid almost two years ago. I was exposed to Covid in August and now I am thinking I had it again. I have heard that Covid testing is not picking up all the new strains. Have you heard about that? Thanks Kitty2
