"a months-long scratchy cough"
But isn't that normal at times for a cold season with kids?
There are lots of really nasty diseases children can get, where safe vaccinations exist. But most data so far told me with covid I have to worry much more about the social developement of my kids. That was really restricted and that is not good.
- jacquesm 5y agoNot this cough. One of my children has this and he sounds more like his 86 year old uncle than a normal child, and it's been going on for ever, without much in terms of improvement. I really pity him. But I'm coughing just as bad...
- hcknwscommenter 5y agoI've not followed this aspect much. Certainly the virus has long since cleared. So, what is going on with the long-term lung involvement? Scarring?
- jacquesm 5y agoI can't speak for my son but for me the trigger seems to be some damage at the back of my throat from the crazy bouts of coughing when I had COVID and now any kind of irritation there will set me off. Very frustrating, especially when you are chairing long meetings.
- hutzlibu 5y agoI hope you will all recover!
- jacquesm 5y agoWe've all recovered from COVID (2nd bout for me :(, apparently both a prior round and vaccine were not enough to stave it off completely but it was only a small fraction as bad as the first one). It's just the cough that remains.
