Answers:

There's a couple of possibilities. My best guess would be asthma. Asthma is a major cause of a lingering cough and causes wheezing (which is most likely the sound you are hearing). Does it always happen around the same times every year? If so it might be allergies. Even if you don't have any known allergies it's worth considering because they can develop at any time. Allergies can aggrevate asthma symptoms. Have you had any colds/infections before this? A cough can stick around for up to 4 weeks after you are "well". At any rate if you haven't already done so you need to make an appointment with your doctor.
