You haven't given too much information, but I will try to help you. So you say you have a cough now for 1 month? Ok. Did your cough start out as bronchitis? For most people bronchitis will clear up with in 3 weeks. For a few unlucky people, it can take them 2 months to get rid of their cough. After two months it is considered a chronic cough. I have asthma and followed the typical route of having bronchitis a 3 times in a row, before my doctor diagnosed me as having asthma. Asthma for some can present with just a cough. Pulmonary tests can be done to confirm this. Or sometimes the physician will do a trial with an asthma inhaler to see how you react to it. Other then that I don't know. It's hard to say at this point if your cough is just residual from a viral infection or if it is due to asthma, GERD, or post nasal drip.
