Get x-ray: Your cough is lasting a long time. It may be allergies or environmental irritation if the symptoms are consistent with that. However, if you are having a cough productive of yellow or green sputum, fever, chill, chest soreness, you need to be evaluated for bronchitis or pneumonia in which case you will need antibiotics. I recommend going back to your doctor and asking for a chest X-ray.

Coughing still: a cough for 2 weeks may be post infectious and may be normal but if it gets worse or does not go away in the next 2 weeks i would see the doctor again. If you have fever or more serious symptoms of course see your doctor sooner than that. Try to get more rest and drink plenty of fluids too
