Keep non smoking: If you have no exposure history to COVID 19, your cough is probably not infection. keep up the good work and do not smoke or vape.

COVID 19?: First self-isolate. If your symptoms get worse please go to a Doctor to find out what type of virus or infection you have and get the right kind of medication or call an ambulance to take you to the emergency room of your nearest hospital where you can get tested.

COVID 19: Smoking can do damage to the mechanisms that keep the lungs and upper airways clear. When paralyzed cilia start working again, they can bring up more mucus and other materials. This could lead to coughing. So this might be a reason for your slight cough. Take care.
