Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Post-nasal drip

Post-nasal drip is the situation where extra mucus drips down your throat. When there are cold or seasonal allergies, the membranes in the nose responds by producing a larger amount of mucus than usual. The mucus associated with Post-nasal drip is usually watery and runny unlike the normal mucus, and that's why it drips down easily to the back of your throat and tickle the nerves which then triggers a cough.

Viral infections

When you are affected by viruses that can cause the common cold, the short term symptoms normally disappear in a week. Post cold coughs are always dry and last for about two months. They're usually the results of an irritation in the air-ways, which is usually extremely sensitive after a viral infection/illness.
