After a cold, a lingering cough can last from 3 to 8 weeks due to respiratory irritation. This cough may be dry or productive, and while it often resolves on its own, persistent or worsening symptoms warrant medical attention. Hydration, honey, and avoiding irritants can help soothe the cough. If the cough lasts over 3 weeks, worsens, or is accompanied by fever or difficulty breathing, a doctor should be consulted. Other underlying issues like allergies, asthma, or gastroesophageal reflux may also cause prolonged coughing. Immediate medical help is necessary for severe symptoms like chest pain or difficulty breathing.
