Summary
A 36-year-old woman caught COVID-19 badly in 2021 and had a cough for many months afterwards; inhalers cleared it after a few weeks and Sudafed gave some relief. Colds or viruses bring the cough back for months; she also had two mild COVID reinfections in 2023. A doctor called it a post-viral cough; X-ray and spirometry were normal.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
