Mgt/workup: From your description, you may have had a viral illness which can result in a prolonged cough. I would suggest having your doctor perform lung function testing, with both the inspiratory and expiratory flow loops analyzed. Cool mist humidification and throat lozenges may help to alleviate your symptoms. .
