Hello there @renaldob! Cough can be cause by cold or flu but there are many cause of persistent cough. Possible causes of persistent cough in children are asthma, bronchiectasis, and even cystic fibrosis. Some of these conditions mentioned are due to viral infections which cause recurrent and persistent cough.
Persistent cough could be caused by any of the following:
*chronic bronchitis
*Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
*smoker's cough
*GERD

*asthma
*allergies
*habitual coughing
If a person is asthmatic, suffers from allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, GERD and enlarged adenoids are all possible causes with chronic cough. One possible cause also could be cancer or tuberculosis.
I think it would be best for you to consult your doctor if you are suffering from persistent cough. Your doctor will be able to do a thorough examination and order different tests so that you will be diagnosed properly and once diagnosis will be given, he will be able to prescribe appropriate medicines so that you will completely recover.
