GP Highlights Key Covid Symptom Distinguishing It from Cold and Flu
A general practitioner explains how to tell Covid apart from common cold and flu based on the nature of the cough.
Differences in Cough Characteristics
- Covid cough: Typically dry and persistent. It can last more than an hour or come in three or more episodes in a single day.
- Cold symptoms: Usually develop gradually and often include a milder cough.
- Flu symptoms: More intense and sudden onset, but cough tends to be less continuous than with Covid.
The distinct dry, relentless cough in Covid helps differentiate it from other respiratory infections.
"A Covid cough is often described as dry and continuous, lasting more than an hour or occurring in multiple episodes within a day."
This insight aids early recognition of Covid symptoms by focusing on cough pattern rather than just presence of cough alone.
