How long will the covid cough last? its day 8 and i'm on multiple medications including antibiotics, 2 inhalers and paxlovid?

Cough due to any viral illnesses can last up to 3 weeks. Some people with Covid pneumonia have cough for months, a pulmonary symptom of long Covid syndrome. I wish you get over the cough soon.

The cough may linger for weeks. If Albuterol is one of the inhalers, you should feel better in a short period a time. The other inhaler may be an anti-inflammatory agent. A Pulmonary evaluation is indicated and a chest image is recommended.
