Post viral: Post viral cough may linger for weeks, since there may be inflammatory changes in the airway. If you experience wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing fits, please see a physician or schedule a virtual appt with HT. You may need an Albuterol inhaler. and/or steroids You are resolving your symptoms, but monitor for fever and worsening, drink fluids and rest.
