Any : Any cough that lasts longer than 2 weeks should be evaluated by a doctor. You could have a bacterial super-infection or a hypersensitive lung reaction (like asthma) on what started out as a cold a month ago. Give your doctor a call - hopefully with a good history and exam, they'll get to the bottom of your cough and have you feeling better in no time. Good luck!
