You might be having bronchospasm post viral infection or it may be a post infection cough which usually resolves in 2 to 3 weeks and some times may take a month to resolve.If these symptoms occur every year during change of season then you must be investigated for Asthma.Consult with your doctor for symptomatic treatment.
