Summary
After recovering from Covid, the user developed intense coughing fits, with 2-3 fits a day and frequent night waking. By April 2023, in the fourth month of coughing, they reported slow improvement but were still coughing. They had tried an albuterol inhaler, GERD medication, antihistamines and a nasal spray; a doctor then suggested an inhaled corticosteroid.
