Hi, I Have Had A Cough For Five Days Now

Hi, I have had a cough for five days now and it is not getting better. I started coughing last Tuesday. Last Thursday afternoon the c had a loose bowel movement later that day but thought that was a separate issue as IBS has seemed to be flaring lately. Today it has that croupy sound to it but sometimes is productive but not much and I haven't looked at it to see if green or clear. Going to bed tonight noticed I was really chilling again, have a subtle headache, have pressure in back and legs when I lie down (the pressure feels related to needing to go to the bathroom?) and have a temp of 100.2. I feel better and cough less and the pressure is less when I sit up, but really want to go to bed. I took cough medicine around 11 and was just thinking of taking an Advil. I truly thought I would be better by today. Any ideas?
