Covid or Asthma

So I recently had Covid and tested negative on Friday, I didn't feel particularly ill throughout my week with Covid apart from complete and utter exhaustion and some ear/ sinus infection which turned out to be a nasty ear infection. I've got this nasty chesty cough and yesterday and today I've been slightly more breathless than usual, nothing too extreme and I'm not needing to use my Ventolin so that's a good thing I guess. I don't know if it's just the tail end of Covid or whether it's my asthma, I guess I'll keep an eye on it and see my GP if anything gets worse.,

Covid makes my asthma kick off, so it might be that. When I was wondering whether my breathlessness was asthma or Covid, the helpline nurse said that if it didn't affect my peak flow and wasn't improved by Ventolin then it was probably Covid and other way around for asthma.

My recent (September) bout of Covid triggered my asthma a bit, and I have had a lingering, tedious cough.
