Summary
Developed a cough that lasted nearly three months, bad enough to pull muscles and make coughing excruciating, with no medication helping. Cough drops, drinking a lot of water and a humidifier helped a bit, and a breathing technique to hold back the urge to cough made it bearable; the cough had resolved by the time of writing.
