hello, cough can be due to various reasons, for example smoking, if you smoke then stop smoking, it can also be due to anti-hypertension drugs(ACE inhibitors) if you take these then stop or consult your physician, also your occupation is important as various dusts and chemicals cause cough, also if your cough is seasonal it may be due to asthma,
plus you say that your sputum is brown colored, which can also be due to pneumococcal pneumonia, which can be diagnosed by gram culture and sputum culture.
do note if you experience any blood with cough, or loss of weight. these signs ususally indicate carcinoma. take care
