I've had this for almost 3 weeks now - I keep getting a dry throat and have to scratch it. The actual illness is over, but the feeling just won't go away. My coworker had something similar. Is this a known aftereffect or should I see a doctor about it?
That's actually a well-known after-effect from Corona - lots of people report having this stubborn dry throat for weeks after the infection itself is long gone. But after three weeks I'd still go see a doctor, just to rule out whether something else is going on or if there's a secondary infection. Gargling with salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and humidity can help you in the meantime, but if it doesn't improve or if other symptoms show up, you should get it checked out.
