Coughing for more than a month

2021-02-19 18:19:01
Hi, I am coughing continuously for more than a month now. I don't have any other COVID symptoms nor any of my close family members have been diagnosed with COVID. It felt like a soar throat but even after gargling it didn't work. What could be the issue?
