DODid you experience flu-like symptoms during the early months of this year?
What many people are experiencing isn’t a brand-new virus. It’s often the after-effects of common respiratory infections like RSV, influenza, or rhinovirus. Even after the infection clears, inflammation in the airways and sinuses can persist for weeks. That’s what makes the cough feel deeper, the ears feel blocked, and the headaches linger. This is called post-viral inflammation or post-infectious cough, and it can last 3 to 8 weeks despite the virus already being gone.
