Chronic cough for more than a month

Question

Asked for Male, 27 Years

I have having mild chronic cough for more than a month. It started after I had a fever with common cold. My fever stayed for only 4 days, but then the cough started and it was not healing. I tried vicks, gargling with hot water and also had cough syrup containing Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide. Nothing worked. Should I consult a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist?
