A member asked:

Daughter 7. cough following cold for 14 days. no fever, sore chest or throat. junky cough. cough not improved in 14 days. just lasting long?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough: Persistent cough may simply be a delay in recovery from bronchitis due to a virus, with the tissues slow to regenerate. It may also be due to mycoplasma, chlamydia, or pertussis. If she does not have fever or other symptoms and is progressively improving, would not worry. If any other symptoms are present would have the pediatrician or pcp see her asap.
