    coughs can last a while im afraid, the fact your not coughing anything up means it is not an infection so that is good.

    monitor it and if you get a fever or feel worse see your GP

    It may well be that you are making yourself more anxious because of this too. Try and do something to take your mind off of it.

      Sorry to hear your not feeling better, sometimes it can take it out of you.

      there isnt much you can do apart from rest and drink plenty of fluids.
