The eight symptoms of Omikron that last the longest
The driving force behind the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is the Omikron “family”, particularly sub-variant BA.5. It is the most easily spreading “version” of the coronavirus to date. It is known to cause similar symptoms to other mutations. However, doctors’ observations show that there is a group of symptoms that last longer than others. One of them stands out in particular.
“Coughing is usually the most long-lasting effect in any viral infection,” said Dr. Allison Arwady, a leading Chicago physician. (Commissioner of the City’s Department of Public Health). “You may be feeling much better now, although you will still be a bit irritable and… coughing,” she said, noting that coughing is usually the last symptom. It may take up to several weeks.

The US agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that most people with COVID-19 improve “within days to weeks after infection”. But for some, officials note that symptoms may last even longer. «Post-COVID-19 diseases can cover a wide range of current health problems. They can last for weeks, months or years, »the CDC concedes. In this case, we are talking about long covid (symptoms up to 12 weeks after the infection) or post-covid syndrome (over 12 weeks).
A study published in May showed that many of the so-called “Covid long distance runners” about 15 months after the virus appeared, still experiencing brain fog, tingling, headaches and dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus and fatigue. Moreover, the symptoms of chronic covid can encompass a wide variety of ailments, some of which may seemingly go away, only to flare up over time.
The CDC reminds that symptoms of infection usually appear two to 14 days after exposure to the coronavirus. How long will it last? There is no single answer to this – it is an individual matter, depending, among others, on on age, comorbidities, vaccination status. “I don’t think there is a way to predict this,” admits Chicago infectious disease specialist Dr. Sharon Welbel.
