Frequent cold and cough
Hello doctor, My husband affected with covid with lung involvement on May 2021. He was hospitalized 1 month with o2 support and got cured. Everything was normal for one year. For past 1 year he is getting cold, and cough frequently like 2 months once. Why he is getting repeated cold and cough? Is this impact of covid? Does any need test needed?
