What could be the cause of my cough, should I see a doctor?

If you have been experiencing a cough for months that is not related to COVID-19 or a cold, it could be caused by sinus drainage. It is possible that the mucus from your sinuses is dripping down your throat, causing the cough. You may want to try nasal hygiene with a saline solution, which can help reduce this drainage. If this doesn't help after a week, it may be a good idea to see a doctor to rule out any other potential causes.
