Cough after COVID

Күн бұрын

What to do about a cough that persists after recovery from COVID-19? Coughing with sticky phlegm for a few months after acute COVID has been reported by many patients. There are no guidelines on what to do at this stage about this symptom, but I try to provide some ideas on what is going on and some simple actions which may help improve the cough.
There are many questions left to answer about the recovery process after coronavirus infection.

5 weeks ago I got Covid for the first time ever. I’ve gotten better but the dry cough won’t go away. I sleep fine with no coughing fits but when I wake up the cough returns within 1-2 hours and then I cough periodically all day. When I workout I can feel crap in my chest. It gets better when I’m done. Man this is so messed up

Not only that, I've got an occasional mild sick feeling too. Not all days but only occasionally. It only got better when I stay active.

thank you for your info.... I too have this maddening cough that doesn't go away and I can't get the clear mucus by coughing it up and out, no matter how hard I try. I have never been able to cough up mucus. My question is: is it bad to just swallow the mucus, as I do, will it eventually go away? It is clear and thin, but impossible to cough up? thx

@@dianereiser6417 I found a solution, 10000IUs vitamin D3 + 200mcgs vitamin K2 twice a day. Within 48 hours my symptoms were permanently relieved. After 5 days I now have a tiny occasional cough. It will be entirely cured within another week I imagine. I think I was probably vitamin D3 deficient that caused me to develop asthma after a bout of flu/covid. These high amounts of vitamin D3 and K2 are generally recommended only by a few sources of information on the Internet and are well over the official recommended levels. I think the pharmaceutical industry is corrupt and that is why recommended vitamin intake is below the correct , actual proper level.

I have asthma and mild vocal cord paradoxical disorder, and I've noticed in the past day or so, I got covid last week and its going away accept for the cough which is getting worse, I have this... It sounds dry but wet at the same time, as odd as that sounds, and its like I get these weird little coughing fits. How do I stop these coughing fits? I think its both the vocal cord and asthma issue, but I'm not really sure how to stop it. My mother told me to be well-hydrated, and I've been working on that, but even when I drink a lot, the cough doesn't go away. Also, thank you for the video. :)

Dr. Advice No matter what is your health problem. 1. Drink more water 2. Wear N95 mask 3. Must be Acid Reflux 4. Stress 5. Don’t Smoke 6. Exercise 7. Lose weight. So I watched a video of a Doctor who got Long Covid and much better than this mediocre doctor. I have a PhD and I go to the doctor and it is always the same mindless repetition. I am 67 , will probably outlive most of my doctors (few dead already) All of them I could beat to death- have to restrain myself as I listen to their same crap they endlessly repeat. As I said others are much more useful.
