5 week old cough

I've had this cough for almost 5 weeks. It started as a tickly cough but is now a chesty cough. I'm a non-smoker and not in any pain with it, its just annoying. I'd hate to waste the doctors time at this time of year so wondering what else it could be if not a chest infection (im assuming they're painful?) and very unlikely to be cancer. Could I have had 2 virus' one after the other?

Chances are it'd be 2 weeks for an appointment but ill try in the morning anyhow...

I would say get it checked as its been hanging around so long. It is hopefully nothing but I know someone who had an annoying cough for a while and it was a actually due to decreased kidney function. Took a while to diagnose and was successfully treated but the sooner you see somone the better. Hope you get it sorted and are feeling better soon.
