Summary
Posting in a long-COVID forum in August 2024, the user described coughing fits that nearly made them vomit during the previous summer and earlier that year, helped most by stopping activity and steam inhalation, with menthol lozenges and an inhaler as a close second. In July 2025 they said mRNA boosters had left them "down for the count for dayyys on end" with horrible side effects, and they were waiting for Novavax.
