persist
Refuse to quit
To persist is to continue doing something despite difficulty or opposition: She persisted with her questions until she got an answer.
It also means to continue existing over time: The smell persisted for days.
Persistence implies stubbornness or determination—the refusal to give up or fade away.
If symptoms persist, see a doctor.
