Coughing after a trip

Hello!

I know you report that coughing is your only symptom, but do you sometimes have a stuffy or runny nose?

Thank you for your response!

If you have no other symptoms, just keep yourself hydrated often, whether it's cold or hot liquids depending on your preference. You can also benefit from lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's friend, which help hydrate the throat to relieve your cough.

Other than that, it is time that will do the healing. In the meantime, it would be prudent to avoid hugging and sharing towels and kitchen items, and to wash your hands with soap often.

If you notice that the cough persists for more than a week, or if other symptoms appear (fever, aches, or congestion for example), I invite you to contact me again.

Coughing is one of the possible symptoms. If you believe you have been in close contact with the infected person, you will be referred to a testing center by calling 811. Please note that the results may take a few days and if so, you will be advised to stay at home as well as the other people living with you.
