Sounds like bronchitis to me. Bronchitis thrives in cold weather because the air dries out and the mucous in your sinus becomes thick, making it a haven for germs. Increase your fluids to thin out the mucous, which will help with the dry cough. Use a hudimifier at night if you're using heat in your home at night. This will help keep your throat moist and unstuff your head. Take aspirin with food for headache and sore body. I would take some before I went to bed also. If you don't have a humidifier, use an open pan of water by your bedside. Gargle with salt water - 1 tea. salt to one cup warm water to break up mucous. You can drink hot tea or hot soup to relieve your throat and promote good circulation and saline spray for your nose. Also, drink more water. This will help your body keep it's moisture level in heated inside air. If these things don't help you, see a doctor. Godloveya.

Is the problem something in the air? Or are you sick in some way? I suggest you either keep your windows open if they're normally closed, or keep them closed if they're normally open. I would also recommend you visit your family doctor about this, and try to determine exactly why you're coughing. Cough drops provide little more than temporary comfort, while improperly perscribed medicine does more harm than health. Drink water, and try to get more sleep, but your priority should be to try and find the source of the cough, rather than how to accommodate for it.

There aren't many good reasons for having a dry, heaving cough that won't go away.
Get thee to a doctor!

See a lung doctor and have a chest xray. Very important.
I've had it too a few years ago with pneumonia and the only thing that helped me was Advair.............but your situation may be something else and would require a different answer.
Drink plenty of water and take Vitamin C also.

I know you're hoping for a simple answer, but the cough could be a symptom of any number of ailments. Do yourself a favor and see a Physician to have the cough diagnosed.

Are you taking medication for blood pressure? Some of those cause cough (the ones that end in -pril). Another very common cause of cough is acid reflux; the cough can occur without heartburn. A persistent cough always need to be xrayed, though.
