A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can recheck: A cough that's not getting better should be evaluated by a primary care doctor, to see if there is an infection (viral, bacterial, mycoplasma, etc...), an allergy problem (various meds are helpful), an asthma problem (can consider trying asthma meds such as inhalers), stomach reflux, a heart problem, some other lung disorder, etc... A thorough exam can help decide if back pain is due to coughing.
