Cough: There are a number of possibilities here. It could be irritation following an upper respiratory infection, with dryness and irritation. Allergies and post-nasal drainage also possible. At that age also have to think of inhaled foreign body, as 13 m/o put everything into their mouths. Environmental exposures also, such as smoke, dust, dry environment either at home or at a sitter/daycare.

Coughing: There are multiple possible causes for prolonged coughing. Diagnoses range from asthma or allergy to sinusitis or pneumonia, or even gastroesophageal reflux. An exam by your doctor is necessary to make the right diagnosis so the appropriate treatment plan can be prescribed.
