Interesting that it is less prevalent among the young and the old but a notable prevalence among adults aged 30-60 years

Post-COVID Cough Linked to Neurological Dysfunction

Coughing appears to be more closely linked to neurological dysfunction than to classic respiratory involvement.

Have a #cough that won’t go away? Here’s what we can VERIFY

My cold has turned unpleasant.

If I try to lie down to sleep I get musical wheezing from my chest, then I start coughing.
I've never been one for sleeping sitting up but I'm going to work on the technique because I desperately need to sleep.

Lithuania has seen a rise in whooping cough cases to over 300 this year. Anti-vax propaganda is winning.

Despite a high prevalence of fibrotic patterns (64%), pulmonary function, #grip strength, 6 min #walk distance and frailty normalised. Overall, #dyspnoea, #cough and #exhaustion did not improve and were not correlated with pulmonary function or radiographic fibrosis at 15 months, suggesting non-respiratory aetiologies.

I've been around the block for a while - but I'd never come across "post viral cough" before.

It certainly sounds like what is dragging me down - it's about two weeks since the cold left off, and I've been coughing since.
