Suggest Treatment For Deep Cough While Using A CPAP Machine

I think I gave myself a bacterial infection of the lungs by using my cpap that had not been cleaned. Symptoms are a chest-rattling deep cough that does not produce anything although I sound like I am drowning. Last summer I went through asthma and allergy testing and the only finding was bronchial hyper-reactivity. I do remember having bronchitis as a child. I am currently taking an over the counter cough suppressant for relief. Will I need to be medicated for this condition before it goes away? I have a couple of inhalers but they don t do much for this.
