HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if it is the allergic cough then it may little long last, in very rare condition it requires antihistamine like Loratadine, else it is the self limiting condition if this is the history of cough more than couple weeks then it need to brought to investigations hope this information helps.
