COVID 19 concerns: Your coughing may not have been due to COVID 19 or you might have had too low a titer to pick up on testing at the time you originally tested. Your titer could have increased over time or you could have a new infection with COVID 19. Please consult with your doctor regarding this - or you can use "Talk-To-Docktor" on HealthTap.

Pulmonologist: Any cough lasting longer than 2 weeks warrants evaluation by a doctor, preferably by a lung doctor, especially to exclude tuberculosis. Wish you good health!
