Answer 1

I had this same problem recently and I coughed for three months after a cold, finally went to the doc, and I had bronchitis. took some anti-biotics and all is well again.

Answer 2

Looks like some bacteria are having fun in your lungs. This needs to be checked by your doctor, because you don't seem to be fighting it efficiently by yourself (over 1 month is way too long). You might need antibiotics. Yes you need to get a prescription for that (in US, Canada and most European countries ; in India Amoxillin is sold over the counter)

Don't delay too much, this could become pneumonia and do some damage to your lungs.

Answer 3

Sounds like bronchitis to me....I've killed bronchitis with loads of garlic and onion...you won't get kissed for a few days, but with bronchitis, you shouldn't be kissing anyway! If all else fails, go to the doc and get some antibiotics!

Answer 4

When you go to the doctor insist on a chest X-ray.

Answer 5

try different hot teas. and theraflu--that is like at savon or cvs. try also camomille, liption, pommogranite tea. also good and good for you
