How long can a cough last after covid? 4 weeks now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry to hear that you are still having a cough! Cough after viral illness can last a long time, commonly lasting 2 weeks or more, and sometimes lasting a month or more. The things to watch for are a change in sputum, development of new fever or any worsening of symptoms. Of course it is always better to be seen and checked than to stay at home and worry.
