Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for your persistent coughing such as: (1) post viral cough- if you recently had the cold or flu, it is possible that your coughing is related to the post viral cough. A cough can persist up to 6 weeks in a person with a recent cough and cold.

(2) post nasal drip - this is a common cause of persistent cough

(3) gastroesophageal reflux disease

(4)asthma

You can consider the use of a topical steroid nasal spray which would help if it is related to post nasal drip. An oral antihistamine/ decongestant combination may also be helpful.

I hope this helps
