Post nasal drip: A post nasal drip can cause your cough as well as a sore throat. Try using a vaporizer and salt water nose drops for relief.

Viral cause: Your symptoms are likely due to a viral upper respiratory infection. These generally last 2 weeks but the congestion can last for several weeks and produce a cough. Drink fluids, take antihistamines and decongestants and follow up if your symptoms worsen.
