I had a cold last month, but I’m still getting rid of a mild cough. This seems pretty timely for me.
The findings suggest there may be long-lasting health impacts after non-Covid acute respiratory infections such as colds, influenza, or pneumonia, that have been going unrecognised.
However, the researchers do not yet have evidence suggesting that the symptoms have the same severity or duration as long Covid.
Oh man. This caused a flashback to that time I had a 3 day long cold that caused me to cough non-stop for the next month until I went to the doctor for steroids to make it stop.
I had periods when I was younger where I’d be congested for months at a time.
