Answers: I've had one for about 4 and a half weeks now
Depends on many factors: your age, general health, co-existing medical problems, type of cough and so on.
The length of time alone is not enough to make any decision; it is quite common to have a cough for many weeks without there being any serious problem, but your doctor is best placed to decide about any worrying signs or symptoms.
definitely time to see a doctor
