Cough for a month and gaining symptoms?

At the end of November, just after Thanksgiving, i acquired a cough, not a bad one but it was there.

It started getting worse along with the flem coming up.

When it continued to get even worse and STILL hasn't gone away, I went to see the doctor the friday after Christmas.

He said it will go away and I'll be fine. The saturday morning after i noticed i couldn't taste my coffee, then i lost my smell.

My cough has become dry and I noticed these weird bumps on the back of my tongue, and I know they're not taste buds, but they're the only thing i can smell or taste...

Anyone know what the problem might be?

    Go back to the same doctor, and see what s/he says now. I know it might be expensive but some doctors "shoo" away their patients by downplaying their symptoms. You should always get a second and third opinion. If it's not in your budget, look into www.WebMD.com there's forums and live chats with doctors sometimes I used that a few years ago when I was having a hard time with something. Every doctor was saying something different and I racked up $3000 medical bill trying to find out. It might help coz it sounds serious.
