Coughing is one of the most common symptoms caused by COVID exposure, and it can be persistent. Coughing will often last for months or years after COVID exposure, but the pattern of coughing varies from person to person.
A chronic cough is more than 3 months in duration and affects your quality of life significantly. The medical profession has no cure for chronic coughing.
When people come to the doctor with a significant cough, they should make sure that their lung function is assessed and monitored closely for any signs such as an increased frequency or increased severity of symptoms or any deterioration in pulmonary function in order to catch any possible disease in time.
Post-exposure to COVID-19 may increase your risk for chronic coughs and sinusitis, especially if you were exposed to the virus while working outside in the cold and wet weather conditions associated with the virus's spread.
The longer you're exposed to COVID-19, the more likely it is that you'll develop chronic coughs and sinusitis—and potentially other health problems as well.
If you develop chronic coughs or sinusitis after exposure to COVID-19, make sure to talk with your doctor about treatment options for both conditions so that you can get relief from the symptoms as soon as possible!
