Chronic cough: can very well be your sinuses with chronic post nasal discharge causing the lingering cough, it can last for weeks after a cold, but months, that needs to be treated. Ask your doctor for an ENT or an allergist / immunonlogist referral, check aaaal.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area. Meanwhile, use saline nasal washes often, best wishes
