Hi,

Since this has been continuing for around a week now, I would suggest that you see a doctor and get a chest X-ray done. It appears that perhaps a few particles of cocaine entered the lungs and induced an inflammatory reaction which is causing the cough. You may need medicines to keep this in control. Please do not take this lightly.

Best wishes.
