Apparently, when you've been coughing for a while, it becomes a habit. The wife had one similar. She ended up on a codeine suppressant to try and kick the coughing habit she'd formed. Worked in the end but took ages. There was also a bad virus kicking around NZ for a while last year with a long lasting cough after a cold.

I dread it . All my rib cage hurts and my sternum feels like its been kicked by a horse . I strained so hard that I was on the point of passing out last night . This is no habit !

My wife has asthma which sends her into coughing fits. It's really nasty. She's got lots of food allergies which kicks her asthma off. She has to be really strict with her diet to help combat it. The damp weather over here doesn't help either.

I feel for you mate.
