If you don't take care of your coughs early, they will tend to linger for quite a long time. Drink a lot of water, or take some Robitusson (sp?).

it's from the chemtrails that the secret govt has been spraying in the skies since the election.

your only solution is to wear a tin foil hat.

Go see a doctor. A chronic cough needs medical attention. You may find out you've got some treatable problem causing the cough.

It's one of 4 things; postnasal drip, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux and postinfectious bronchial inflammation. I'm gonna go ahead and say it's the first one, since you just got over a cold, but you should see a doc if it's not going away.

maybe walking pneumonia. I had a cough that just got realy bad after three weeks, went to the doc and they scolded me for not coming in earlier. :(

There was a time last year when I coughed for about 2 months straight. Initial tests pretty much did nothing, but after the second visit the doctor said I had more mucus in my throat or whatever, and that when I would eat things, things would get stuck more often then they should and it would trigger my gag reflex. Not really a cough, more like a choke.
