Treating long COVID cough with inhaled steroids
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing if inhaled steroid medications (ICS or ICS/LABA) can help people whose cough continues long after a COVID-19 infection. It is designed for adults whose cough started after a positive COVID test and has lasted more than 8 weeks without other lung issues.
