See a doctor as a persistent cough could have many causes. Could be a throat or ear infection and not necessarily a cold. Mucinex works great for a runny nose and mucus.

Maybe a pharmacist could advise you, if you don't want to go to the doctor.

Several years ago, I had a very bad cough so I took some cough medicine and it closed up my throat to the point I had difficulty breathing. Went to the doctor and found out I had an ear infection. Medication cleared it up fast.
