I had COVID a month ago, I have a cough, runny nose and a lot of fatigue?

Question

Hello, I contracted covid-19 a little over a month ago. I had all the symptoms fever, cough, runny nose, fatigue, etc.. However, my symptoms are still present and for the most part amplified. I have an important wet cough, runny nose, yellowish secretions, extreme fatigue, etc. Is it normal that I still have these symptoms after 1 month or should I consult? Thank you for your answer, Indeed the symptoms had faded slightly but never left completely. I always took acetaminophen, gelomyrthol to help with nasal congestion and I also did the sinus rinse regularly

Hello ma'am, sorry to read about your troubles! Did the symptoms from a month ago go away before you started experiencing them again? Would it be possible to know what you tried for these symptoms? Thanks for the feedback! Re-infection with the same virus is unlikely, however we are currently in cold season (and even flu season at some point). The options you are currently taking are the best for you, including acetaminophen for pain and Sinus Rinse (as often as needed during the day). However, if you do not notice any improvement after 7 days, or if your symptoms worsen, you should consult a doctor, just to be on the safe side. I will remain available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
