How can I completely get rid of a lingering mild cough and chest irritation after recovering from COVID-19, especially since the cough returns as soon as I stop using steam inhalation and Ascoril cough syrup?
It is very common to experience a lingering cough and chest irritation after COVID-19, as your airways remain sensitive and inflamed. While steam inhalation and Ascoril (which contains levosalbutamol and ambroxol) provide temporary relief, stopping them can cause the cough to return because the underlying inflammation hasn't fully cleared. To help your lungs heal, continue staying well-hydrated with warm fluids and avoid dry or cold air triggers. Since the irritation persists, please consult your doctor. They may evaluate your chest and consider a short course of a generic inhaled corticosteroid to calm the airway sensitivity.
