Sounds like you have bronchitis. You might want to see a doctor and get antibiotics.
When you lay down at night use an extra pillow so that your body is up on a slight angle and use a humidifier to minimize the night time coughing.
Additional info. - Bronchitis does not have to be a phlegmy cough, it can be a dry burning persistant type that you feel deep in your chest.

My daughter had the same symptoms for @ 2 1/2 weeks. Her pediatrician did give an antibiotic that cleared it up, but he also said that it may come back. The cold symptoms his patients are dealing with are lasting longer than they used to. If you do not have a temperature it is probably not an infection, more of a virus. Hope you feel better. Try Delsym cough medicine.

PLEASE try these 3 remedies...EVERY time I feel run-down or get that tickly feeling in my throat I take these 3 things and it NEVER turns into a full-blown cold.
1) Olive Leaf Extract by "Herb Pharm"....it's in liquid form, and has no side effects...it immediately goes to work to kill any viruses in you...and it's all natural.
2) "JarrowDophilus", by "Jarrow Formulas"...it will keep the healthy "flora" in your body in perfect balance which keeps your immune system strong.
3) "Emergen-C" Vitamin C packets by "Alacer"
All three can be purchased at "Whole Foods Market", possibly "Trader Joe's", or call your local health food store to inquire about these 3 products.
EVERY friend and family member who has taken this advice, hardly ever gets sick.
For your throat: "Peaceful Mountain--Throat Rescue"
You will NEVER find a more powerful throat spray which is all-natural....soothing, fast acting, and kills bad bacteria on contact.
Cayenne Pepper in capsules (or sprinkled on soup) helps greatly with congestion AND is also an immune systen booster too....and drink lots of organic green tea to help your energy levels.
You'll see!! :) Get well soon!

we are not Doctors here. If you have had these symptoms for two weeks, I'd go see a Doctor.
