Sir many a times the radiologist may over report a normal film so if your physician feels it's normal you may wait. Without seeing the film my commenting whether it's normal or not is not valid. However if you have cough for more than 3 weeks and it is persistent, tuberculosis is one reason if only you stay in an endemic area. Also if you are smoker and your age is more than 50 years, and if symptoms persist, I would suggest HRCT chest to one and for all rule out any pathology. Regards
