I recently visited the Shanghai bw art expo on July 13th, unwisely not wearing a face mask, and subsequently contracted the first symptoms of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. This rash decision resulted in me coughing non-stop, and despite taking numerous medications, I can only temporarily suppress the cough, which immediately returns as soon as the medication wears off. I am now concerned that the medication may not be providing the desired benefits. Prior to my hospital visit, a chest X-ray showed that my lungs are largely unaffected, with the doctor attributing the symptoms to a high-level allergic reaction. Fellow friends, have you experienced similar situations? If so, how long did it take for your symptoms to improve?
