Summary
Stone 11019, in Canada, developed long COVID with a persistent dry spasmy cough, a wheeze that came and went and mucus stuck in the chest and throat, along with rib muscle pain when coughing; three months in it was still at a problematic level. NAC cleared the mucus and helped them manage the wheeze a bit better, though it dried their mouth at first, and by late July 2023 they were still taking it with good results.
