Coughing
While it may simply be a post-viral cough that will resolve on it's own, I think you need to have your lungs listened to by your doctor ASAP. You may have walking pneumonia (Mycoplasma), pertussis, or wheezing.
In the meantime, I agree with the recommendation of honey for the cough. You can also try elderberry syrup.

A persistent cough is common after a respiratory infection. As frustrating as it is, it usually goes away on its own. Cough medications are sadly of very little help. A spoonful of honey seems to be as effective as any.
A persistent cough can also be a sign of asthma. If you have allergies and/or think you might have asthma, I'd talk to your doctor. Inhalers might help as well.
Best of luck!
