Got a cough that just won't quit? You're not alone


The strength of viruses and immune systems that may be out of practice are contributing to lingering symptoms this cold and flu season, some doctors say.

CORRECTION (Jan. 23, 2024): A previous version of this video referred to the term immunity debt instead of immunity deficit. The term immunity debt is relatively new, cropping up during the…

  1. I have been coughing since Christmas. It is a tickle in my throat that triggers the coughing. Then the running nose and sneezing starts. I buy cough candies and always carry them with me. I wake up, quite often in the middle of the night and take another cough candy. It goes away sometimes for 5-6 hours at a time.

  2. I used to get this post viral cough but finally found a cure…do a netti pot 3 times a day while sick. This keeps the sinuses clear. Ears nose and throat are all connected

  3. Take natarul Tumreric powder 1/3 teaspoon in a 1/3 bottle of spring water .. cap it and shake it good till dispursed. drink it down every morning . it will break down the phelgm in your throat. then cough it out … try it .

  4. She said cough drops wont help. I had flu and cold symptoms at the start of winter. It ran it course after about 14 days and cold medicines. After watching this I wanna make some homemade soup.

  5. Take lime and salt 🧂 for your cough it work s but , most of all trust God our father in heaven through Christ Jesus and holy spirit 🙏 we are living in the later days and they will be more trials , nation again nation alot of war, earthquake, global economic crisis, fire 🔥 food crisis, and alot more, I pray you all accept christ Jesus into your life. Have a blessed day 🙏

  6. No, this is a different cough. I have had it since the two Covid vaccines and yes my asthma is now worse. I take puffers but a drink of fairly warm water helps. It is worse in the summer or with lots of rain- mold. I had Covid Dec 2019 in Ontario but of course it was not in Canada. Anyway, Covid voice was my clue later on or I would not have taken the vaccines.So my allergies are obviously worse.

  7. My mom has had this now two winters in a row. 3-4 days of regular cold followed by 3-4 weeks coughing. I haven't had a cold in 20+ yrs and I isolated ALOT 2019-2022 and I'm not exceptionally clean nor a healthy eater, so where's my colds been? Now I'm worried I'm going to be totally smashed over this "immunity out of practice" thing.

  8. Are you still going on about immunity debt? Jesus, it's not even a real concept. How long can you blame a couple of months of "lockdowns"?

    You even say "since she had covid." PEOPLE HAVE DAMAGED IMMUNE SYSTEMS BECAUSE OF COVID INFECTIONS.

  9. Immunity debt is not what is going on. Talk to the doctors who know that the damage caused by covid impacts the effectiveness of the immune system,. So rather than an understimulated immune system, what we are experiencing is an immune system that has been weakened due to infection. We don't know if it will be permanent, but it's certainly long-lasting. I'm hearing many experts comparing it to HIV.

  10. If only they would just admit that Dave made us sick. We were fine before the lockdowns and the masks. We were all fine. They implemented this and we should be able to sue whoever for people being sick for no reason.
