Without fever, pain or discolored sputum, this is unlikely to be an infectious disease.  There are numerous causes of the cough you describe, but given the circumstances, 3 come to mind:  1) that you are having gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) possibly with aspiration and vocal cord spasm, which can occur without heartburn; 2) asthma; and 3) nasal or sinus inflammation with postnasal drip.  You should see your doctor for consideration of these 3 considerations, examination and a chest x-ray.
