Evaluation: A cough for such a prolonged period warrants an evaluation by a physician or pulmonologist. Appropriate testing will be done and may include a chest xray and/or a chest ct scan in order to make a diagnosis and prescribe proper treatment.

12 mo cough: Consider postnasal drip/ rhinitis/allergies/reflux / asthma these are conditions that could cause a chronic cough and aren't infectious/tumors ( where you would get usually progressively ill-rarely not ill with mycoplasma ) You may need daily antihistamines/steroid nasal spray/anti-gastric medication like prevecid or asthma treatment including inhalers. Go to doctor or urgent care this
