What Causes Coughing All The Night?

I went out on my first date in in about 2 months and I kissed him, I never thought that my throat would feel this way it's now been 3 days and I find myself coughing all night. It's like a hacking cough where I'm always trying to clear my throat. The first night when it started and brushed my tongue hoping I could get rid of some of the germs. Please tell me should I go see a doctor just in case it's something like mono?

Hi.
Coughing all night for the last 3 days indicates you have a post-nasal drip from the nose , that may be due to the infection transmitted in the kissing. This may not be Mono.'
Get examined by an ENT Surgeon. You should visit one. You also need to undergo some investigations of blood.
Get started on antibiotic course along with anti-inflammatory medicines, steam inhalations after nasal decongestant drops.
Take a cough supressants if there is no productive cough .
