Why do colds/flu/bugs seem to end with an annoying cough that lasts for ages?
In: Biology
Because we are all delicate little meat sacks.
But in all seriousness I blame mucous and post nasal drip. It’s a barrier, so our body goes crazy building walls to protect us because it knows we are already weak from whatever virus/bacteria made us sick and that mucous hangs around and makes our throats irritated or our lungs weak and heavy.
Our bodies may also have picked up something else while we were weak with the first thing. Or it was so busy with killing the primary illness that it’s slow to clear up the lingering inflammation.
