Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The cough associated with the common cold can persist even after all of the other symptoms have resolved.
It can sometimes last up to 6 weeks.
Since the cough is associated with the production of mucus you may want to consider the use of a mucolytic.
This is medication to help break up the mucus in the chest. Examples are bisolvan, mucomyst, guiafenesin, ambroxal
Should be available over the counter.
I hope this helps
