Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Recurrent cough may be due to allergy or bronchitis or asthma etc. Yes pulmonary tuberculosis cough also may present more than 2 weeks but it may associated with symptoms like weight loss, blood in sputam or chest pain and night sweats. Consult your physician he will take xray chest and sputam examination and treat you accordingly. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. Still having queries please feel free to ask.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
