do you smoke?
are you around anything that may be irritating your throat?
MAKE your doctor listen or get another doctor...not only are you a patient you are a customer!!!
Increase your fluid intake and suck on cough drops until your next appointment

There are many conditions that could be causing a chronic cough. There are many OTC medicines,which one can use for treating symptoms, however the best answer is getting another opinion. Find another Doctor, perhaps it is a specialist in Upper Respiratory Diseases,that you need.When you are getting worse, you definitely are not "fine".You need to give more detailed information about your cough to the Doctor. For your painful cough you can use honey and lemon juice, for temporary relief, or some cough drop may be effective until you have a diagnosis and RX. Get well soon

Do you smoke or is there a smoker in your house? It could be the beginnings of asthma. A persistent cough is NOT normal and if you have seen this Dr. and he tells you nothing is wrong- FIND ANOTHER DR! If nothing esle just for a second opinion. I know they cost but I would see a Pulmonary Specialist to rule out asthma or chronic bronchitis, both of which can damage the lungs if not properly treated. I hope you find relief soon. By the way, if you can tolerate honey, find some from the area you live and when you feel the tickle, take a spoonful and let it disolve in your mouth and swallow it slowly. That should help.

If your doc says you are fine. You are fine. If you are worried, drink more water and take a cough medicine. Try Buckley's Cough Syrup.

go to an American doctor. i found that foreign doctors are only interested in making you get sicker so you come back as many times as you can to pay your co pay and they can charge your insurance company.
don't be quick to condemn this response, i speak from experience...
