Coughing doesn't go away

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I've been coughing for more than a month now. I've had a couple of dry cough medicines, I've tried gargling with salt water, I've taken steam baths but still my cough isn't going away. The cough isn't continuous, it comes after a long interval in the day. But, in the night it becomes more violent.
