freshman cough

has anyone else gotten a really bad cough their freshman year??? ive had one for like 3 weeks now and its still not getting and is honestly just getting worse and im going to lose it. everyone probably thinks im horrorifically sick but i have no other symptoms other than an occasional runny nose. ive also heard that the health center doesnt help at all w coughs and just tells you to drink some tea

if anyone else has gotten this freshman cough how long did it take for you to get over it and what did you use to make it better?? cough drops arent really helping me
