Cough: Some times there are viruses like parainfluenza that can linger for awhile, even months or sometimes the bronchial lining just remains irritated. Keep hydrated. Try Delsym it is my go to cough suppresant. If you would need a script I would use Tessalon pearls and if needed a phenergam with codeine or the like.
