You have unfortunately failed to include your past medical history, respiratory history, smoking history or family history. Putting that aside most prolonged coughs are post viral due to loss of stability of the respiratory mucosa. As such they are generally self limiting. If symptoms persist for 4 weeks a chest X Ray is indicated. Assuming this is negative inhaled steroids are used to stabilise the membrane.

there is alot you can do, nothing is the perfect solution but try: first of all i would phone my parents n ask them to pick me up some hot drinks for tickly coughs, like beechams all in 1 kind of thing, these have paracetamol in them so its medicine but if it says on the packet for tickly cough then it should help. if you cant get a hold of that or dont want medicine, drink hot water with lemon juice and melt honey into it, ah so you dont have lemon or honey.drink hot tea, it may not do much but its something.
one tablespoon honey with pepper on it (the sprinkly one not the vegetable)
hot milk with honey
water - drink it all the time and try to stay away from fizzy drinks
Rub both your elbows on the grass outside your house. Then sniff them and you will be cured.
