Cough even after covid recovery
My father got covid on 22nd April, last month. After multiple tests, we got to know that he got some bacterial infection in his lungs and CRP value touched 140 due to which he had to admit to the hospital. He was given remdisivir injections and other antibiotics. Through all that time, he was having a lot of cough. Which decreased by the time passed.
After coming back from the hospital, he continued with steroids of 16 mg, then 8mg, then last one 4 mg each for 5 days. The course of steroids completed last week. But still cough has not completely gone. Its still there. What should be done in such case? Even after recovery cough is still there.

It should subside in due course of time.
If it doesn't, it would be helpful to get a consult. Some cough suppressants would help in the meantime.
