Is it when all symptoms are gone? I am getting over the flu and no longer have a fever or anything. I feel much better, but I still have a nagging cough. Am I still contagious?

No,
colds usually last about 2 days or until “most” of the symptoms are gone.
I just got over the flu also and i have the cough still. Just do not cough on anyone.

yes if you cough on someone, otherwise it should’nt be contagious.

usually contagious for only the 1st few days of coming down with it…
I do not believe that you are any longer contagious.

You are only contagious as long as you have symptoms, such as malaise, fever, aches, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, etc. A nagging cough doesn’t count, which is usually caused by a secondary infection that is only contagious to you.
Take care my friend.
