Question : Recently recovered from covid but still suffering from dry cough

Brief Answer:
Will take time....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It is quite common to experience persistent dry cough after a viral upper respiratory infection. I am glad that you have fully recovered through COVID. Continue using cough syrup. Also use lozenges such as tusQ chewable tablets. They should ease the cough and distress until you recover in the next couple of weeks.

Drink lots of water to remain hydrated.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
