See doctor: A cough lasting over a year should be be checked out. You should figure put why you are having a cough for so long. That is not normal.

Varies: There are multiple potential causes. If it iis a simple pulled muscle, then it should be better within 10-14 days. If it does not improve at that point, consider being checked. Thank you for the question.
