There is no precise description, but if you are coughing enough where it's more then just clearing your throat several times a day and it happens with regularity, or interferes with other tasks, then u could define it as "frequent coughing".

27 year experience in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

How long it usually lasts:

Medium-term (lasts weeks to months)
