Cough: Would seek medical attention. May be viral or from post nasal drip ( which is helped if you raise the head of bed) or from reflux which is helped by raising head of bed and trying prevecid (OTC) or ranitidine , or bacterial including mycoplasma which needs antibiotics. May also be a bit of reactive airway and need albuterol inhaler. f/u/ w/ doc today especially if short of breath
