Bronchitis: A cough that persists after a cold is often bronchitis or inflammation of the bronchioles/small tubes in the lungs. The soreness you feel with coughing can be caused by that inflammation or by a small pulled rib muscle. However, shortness of breath, fever, wheezing, or symptoms lasting more than a few days can require urgent medical attention.
