Persistent cough.

You've had a cough hanging around for weeks, that dry tickle or wet hack that just won't quit. It's your body's way of clearing your airways, but when it persists beyond a few weeks, it's worth figuring out what's triggering it, since causes range from lingering irritation to something needing attention.
