I've had this odd cough for 5 weeks now
First week and itchy cough that isn't going away. No sore throat, just an annoying itch.
Second week I start coughing up phlegm and mucus
Third week my sinuses become blocked and I have over production of mucus in my sinuses. The pressure in my face gives me a constant headache.
4th week my smell and taste became weak and barely there,my hearing weakened also . I could only taste sugar or salt and nothing else. And I've been using the nasal spray beconase to help me breathe and it's helped a good deal but although I've been on strong antibiotics, I still have this annoying itchy cough and I keep bringing up phlegm colored yellow ISH green. It's felt like I've been unwell for so much longer than over a month. Its left me feeling drained and no matter how much I sleep,I'm always exhausted. Some days my appetite grows large but other days it's normal. I don't care what it is I just wanna be better and get rid of this annoying cough and blocked sinuses. It's caused my mental health to get bad and sometimes I have hope but other times I have no faith and I worry I'll have this illness forever or worse. I've just turned 21 and I wanna live my life happy and healthy as much as I can. But the only thing reliving my symptoms is the nasal spray a doctor advisor suggested over the phone. I hope you all in the comments can find a remedy and get well again fast! Cuz whatever this is . We can all agree that we want it gone. Even if some of us have something slightly different. We want it gone! 🥲💜💜💜
I'd also like to add that I've had allergy testing for pollen and a couple other common things and Im not allergic to any season changes and I've never felt this cough before in my whole 21 years of being alive. So I'm super confused and at a loss as I know what a normal cough feels like.😭
whoever tf gave me this better count their days
Way back in high-school almost 20 years ago, I had a cough that lasted 4 months, I didn't know what it was.
Its been 2.5 months and i am still coughing. The doctor says the infection is over but i still cough up phlegm
CDC? lol
YES BECAUSE WE CAN TRUST THE GOVERNMENT
Haha you found one doctor who said they don’t think it’s anything new, and that’s proof there’s no evidence of something new? That’s a fallacy, my pulmonologist said there is a new disorder that many in Pulmonology are arguing is developing in children and adults in different ways, but it is leading to months long coughing
I’m from India, after the Covid, everyone I know tells me if they get cough it takes more than a month to heal. And there are many who didn’t use to get cough also getting it very easily
Its making me gag and throw up
Yeah they just don't know what it is.
I’m 2.5 months in and still coughing like crazy

Yep, CDC is a very reliable source of information, they will alway tell you the truth. LOL. Everyone is coughing for weeks yet 'no, no, there is no new virus'. Shame on you, CDC
It’s the odor coming off the Trinity. Trust me!
Definitely some type of new something. I’ve never had this before. Cough won’t go away waking me up every night around 4 am because I’m wheezing so bad and it’s hard to breathe. Then I get up take my inhaler and cough for about an hour. This is NOT THE USUAL SUSPECTS! ID SUGGEST DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FINDING OUT WHAT THIS IS. I thought I heard reports about a month or so ago about an unusual respiratory illness in China.
But what is causing the post nasal drip that lasts for weeks. A lot of people have this and it is going around and lingering more than usual. That's a fact.
Lol, verify with people, not CDC and not with some so called expects . People coughing their lungs out left and right with long lasting fever.
Hmmmmm…Covid?
Could it be that people are more likely to experience a lingering cough because of the damages that can occur in even mild Covid cases? Or perhaps that we were all being more careful and inside and so our bodies haven’t had to deal with these illnesses as much in prior years? I understand there’s no NEW illness but is there any evidence of an increase in these lingering coughs this year compared to prior years?
raw honey for a few weeks might clear it out
Yeah, sick migrants.
I’m usually the first one to blame the jab, but I haven’t taken any of that stuff. After about age 34 or so any time I got a cold or whatever, I’d get over it eventually but it would just linger for weeks and weeks. Just part of getting older.
It’s been over a month for me and still coughing!

They dropping it from the skies. No joke.
It's THE JAB!!
Omg
Let’s verify vaccinated with non vaccinated… instead of asking biased opinions and quoting people who flipped flopped more than a dolphin tail. 😂
I'VE NOTICED THIS AFTER EVER COVID VACCINATION. NEVER PRIOR. PLUS, I'VE HAD MUSCLE ACHES AFTER AS WELL. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
