Has anyone noticed this after COVID?

Your cough reflex is more sensitive to triggers than usual?

Not that you cough often but you cough easier than before.

For example when drinking cold water.

I've read it's normal after viral respiratory infections in general for up to 2 months.

It's been a month since I got it.

Good thing is my oxygen saturation is 99%.

No idea, but there are a lot of reports of "long term" COVID being a low-level but months or years long problem.

@ChipmunkErnie True. I hope mine isn't long-term. It doesn't affect my activity level. I breathe normally and don't cough out of nowhere. There has to be a trigger and even then the cough isn't bad. Also it's noticeably better when compared to say like 2 weeks ago. Still if this won't resolve by next month I'm going to see a doc & get a chest X-ray + more tests.
