Summary
A Reddit user who had COVID-19 in 2020 described a severe cough that lasted months and had gone by about the four-month mark. After about six good weeks the cough came back as a milder, controllable tickle in the throat and upper chest. They wondered whether the cough was a real symptom or driven by anxiety, and planned to raise it with a doctor.
