persistent cough
Won't stop hacking
A persistent cough is one that lingers beyond the normal course of a cold or respiratory infection, typically lasting three weeks or more.
The phrase appears frequently in medical contexts and pharmaceutical warnings: See a doctor if you have a persistent cough.
A persistent cough may signal underlying conditions requiring attention, which is why it triggers specific advice on medication labels.
