See a Doctor
In most healthy people a cough usually lasts for about a week, however it can linger for up to two weeks. If you have a cough and cold that lasts for longer than two week, and nothing is working for you, it may be best to see a doctor. Sometimes a chronic cough can be caused by something other than a cold or allergies, such as a bacterial infection or an underlying health condition.
Making an appointment with your primary care provider can help determine the best course of action in treating your condition and proper follow-up care.
