Brief Answer:
better get Clinically examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to hcm.
Your cough is nearly one week old and still troubling...
You may try saline gargles after food, lots of salt added house hold liquids and decongestant medicines like Sinarest for relief, usually the medicine needs to be taken thrice daily and you should avoid driving and operating machinery due to possible judgement errors.
If still the problem persists, better get reviewed by a physician and get investigations eg Chest Xray, CBC, ESR, throat swab for cultures, if required.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
