@callondoc: A cough that sticks around for weeks after a virus is usually inflamed airways finishing their recovery process, not a sign you are still contagious or getting worse. The story of the cough matters more than the cough itself. New fever, worsening breathing, chest pain, or symptoms that get better and then sharply worse are the signals worth acting on. A cough that is just slowly fading on its own is usually your body doing exactly what it is supposed to do. You are allowed to recover at your own pace. Questions about your recovery?
