Narrative:
Enroute from ZZZ-ZZZ1; the purser and relief captain (who was in the cabin at the time) informed the captain flying that one of the flight attendants was experiencing coughing and an itching feeling in the chest area. The flight attendant in question was isolated in the rear of the aircraft and instructed to continue wearing her mask and limit her interaction with the passengers and other crew members. After receiving the information; the flight crew called ops control via satcom in the flight deck. We were connected with medlink and given a phone number and reference number to provide to the flight attendant with symptoms. Upon landing; she was isolated as much as possible; made contact with medical; and scheduled an appointment for consultation in her hotel room. The next day; she made me aware that her consultation resulted in a diagnosis consistent with a condition other than covid-19.
