Call doctor...: A cough which just started could be a symptom of Covid-19 so you should definitely be tested. Other possibilities include bronchospasm from any etiology-including other viral infections besides Covid (like flu or common cold viruses) and even bacterial infections, post-nasal drip, GERD, etc. It is important to diagnose the etiology of your cough since the treatment will depend on its cause.
