Viral? Allergy?: If you're not bringing up sputum (mucus, phelgm) or blood when you cough, and if you're not short of breath (e.g. easily winded with activity), probably this is just prolonged viral bronchitis, or perhaps allergy. At your age, cancer is extremely unlikely. Still, to be completely safe you should see your GP to confirm the diagnosis and perhaps get treatment. Good luck!
