l had a cold around a week ago now, and l think it has gone, however a cough remains. It is quite bad since sometimes l can feel it in my lungs, it feels like there is always something stuck in my throat (tickly). How long will it take to go?

It is is not it !!!!!!!!

Damned annoying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?

Usually when your throat is tickly, it is a sign that you are getting better, however, if the cough does not ease, you have to be careful that it has not progressed in bronchitis, so give it a few days, if it still feels more like the cough is affecting your lungs, it would not hurt to get it checked out

Colds and such virus is generally last anything from 7-10 days.Most upper respiratory tract infections are caused viral, virus is don' respond to antibiotics

If this persists for more than three weeks, or your symptoms get worse, go see your Dr who will likely do a chest X-ray
