Went to London mid February for a few days. I never got “sick” but I developed a dry cough shortly after we got home. I can’t not shake the damn thing. Doc has had me on antibiotics, steroids, some inhaler thing
It’s fucking annoying as hell. Bonus though, I’m sure I’ve got 8 pack abs under my insulation layer at my waist. I’m pretty much doing 1500 crunches a day. |

Are you, by any chance, taking Lisinopril?

A number of people at work that traveled to the EU earlier this year have gotten it. They are still hacking and it has been 2 months.

My wife has had one since we got Covid in the fall, and it's driving me crazy. I've told her to go to the doctor to see if she needs an inhaler or something.
"It's just allergies" Fine, don't listen to the guy that's had asthma since he was born. The longer you let the inflammation sit in there the longer it takes to get it out. Some steroids might knock it right out no problem. |

6 weeks of it for me.
My sat was 94-95 for at least 3. I’m a nurse and I also have too close nurse practitioner friends that were trying to help me. A couple of inhalers did not work steroids did not work. Antibiotics did not work because mine was a viral syndrome/bronchitis. I couldn’t train (BJJ) for about a month. Sucked bad. I know a few people that had the same thing. I know when mine started and in hind site I believe I had the ‘vid. Hence a post viral syndrome |

When I lay down I get the coughing and wheezing/whistling amost like asthma but my inhaler doesn't help, nor does a dose of nebulizer. It started in January right after I got covid. I cough up a lot of mucus every night. Keeps me awake for hours. Feels like I have junk in the back of my throat that I can't clear out.
I tried anti biotics and steroids and it didn't help. I am on lisiniopril too. |

I have had a persistent cough with no other symptoms a few times in the past and my PCP recommended that I try to take Tagament. Its an OTC heart burn pill but an off label use is persistent cough. Worth a shot.

It is extremely rare but ARBs have been associated with a chronic dry cough in some people..it’s a side effect that can appear even if you’ve been on it for years. There are other meds as well, some otc than can cause it as well https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6548022/#bib8 Plenty of other causes though too..post nasal drip from allergies, acid reflux, etc. |

Have had it, got a suppressant the docs call pearls binzo something that would suppress the urge to cough, but it was around 2 months and then one day it vanished.
No idea and no additional meds taken. Had 2-3 team members that had the same, cough not -reductive, and no other symptoms. There a month or so and then gone. |

Yes. Check your sinuses/allergies. Took years to figure it out. Was getting drips down back of my throat that were making their way into my lungs. Drips were so slight i did not even feel them.
