What Causes Persistent Cough And Intermittent Chest Tightness?

Many weeks ago, thought I had a simple cold with headache and sinus congestion. Only lasted a few days. Symptoms relieved with OTC pain reliever and sinus decongestants. Developed ongoing cough with intermittent chest tightness and burning. No fever or sputum production. No nighttime cough. Not exacerbated by deep breathing or activity
