Both my husband and I had the same thing, his wasn't anywhere near as bad as mine though. I coughed so hard it hurt and I was sore for over a week after it finally stopped. Mine lasted over 4 weeks and I still get a tickle in my throat that makes me cough. Luckily we had some super strong cough medicine (prescription) at home from quite awhile back and I used that and the major coughing finally stopped . Drink lots of fluids and get as much rest as you can, unfortunately it just has run it's course.
