What Causes Persistent Cough?

my son who is 25 had been having a persistent cough since he left his trip to the Philippines 3 weeks ago it was actually beginning to hurt me when he cough, but he said only his throat hurt a little from coughing so much. I decided to offer him the Bromphenir-pseudoephed DM the Doctor had prescribed for my granddaughter in July this year even though she is 12 Years old it seem to work great but now we are out and we need to know what over-the=counter is similar Thanks
