Strep : Yes you can be coughing and be hoarse and have strep. Therefore, it is important for you to get a throat culture to rule out strep.

Strep cough: Yes you can have strep with coughing and hoarseness, and you could also have another infection e.g. A virus at the same time. As your illness has gone on for over a week, you should call your doctor to be seen and diagnosed properly and treated appropriately.
