I have had a cough for 3 weeks, maybe more- and the congestion shows up every day after I start my day. At night I do not cough at all. But as soon as I start my day and move around my cough comes back and I hear congestion and sometimes wheezing deep in my chest. I have no shortness of breath....just an ongoing annoying cough. I am on antibiotics too- so it must be viral?

Since you mentioned wheezing you need to call your doctor and update them. He may want to prescribe something for the congestion as well as a nebulizer treatment for the wheezing. Either way call the docs office and report these symptoms to his nurse. Since the clinic is still open hopefully call today.

Cough is caused by a number of ailments.
It can be treated by over the counter medicines
or home remedies. More information available

if you smoke and you are recovering from a cold probably about 5 weeks
if you dont smoke the cough should last about a week
sounds to me like you've got bronchitis, the antibiotics should clear it up
