“Why do I have persistent coughing weeks after recovering from covid?”

Please take vitamin d, magnesium, vitamin c, honey, and drink a lot of water. Stay away from sugar! No smoking! No mask! And you'll get better very quickly. If cough still persists, please check with your physician if you need an antibiotic.

This symptom is not unusual. It is pretty common. The lingering cough reflects bronchial and tracheal lining inflammation which will resolve over another two to three weeks. The virus penetrates a bit and incites inflammation there. Then resolution occurs over weeks. To help yourself, deep breathe often. And drink fluids that are thin and easy to swallow. Sometimes we prescribe prednisone to help resolution.
