A member asked:
Is the cough of a patient with covid-19 any different sounding than a cough of a patient with a cold?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cough of COVID-19: In COVID-19, cough is usually dry, persistent (initially not much different from a cold), then turns into wet with mucus and high fever (pneumonia). In severe cases, severe shortness of breath and oxygen desaturation can develop after the pneumonia (severe respiratory distress syndrome).

No: No, however, COVID-19 cough is more commonly deep from the lower respiratory tract.
