Was at the GP yesterday for a similar thing with Sam... three months with a persistent cough that lingered each time the snots or tonsilitis would clear up. Worse at night or when it was cold...

I'm told it's a typical presentation of asthma - might be something to consider if it doesn't clear up. Especially if there's a family history.

Also - a pharmacist told me that you can use brauers cough relief in children under the age of 2 - just at half the dose listed on the bottle for kids older than 2. The story I was given was that it used to be available for kids under 2, but when all the cough mixtures and other cold treatments when 2+ only, so did the brauers stuff. It didn't really help us much, but asthma is asthma. If you're comfortable with it, it may be worth trying.
