So cough more than three week should be evaluated through chest x ray. ...
Your ear examination also has to be done to look for infection and rule out labyrynthitis like condition that can lead dizziness . ..
Take antihistaminic drug like pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine for few days ....
Avoid stress and smoking and alcohol ....

Measure your blood pressure , blood sugar level ....
Physical examination done ....
If still cough more dextromethorphan tablet can given ...
