Unlikely to be a heart condition , more of a respiratory issue. Kindly do some steam inhalation, avoid cold drinks , avoiding smoking (if a smoker). If still persists for 3-4 days more get labs done( CBC, ESR, Chest Xray, sputum examination if present). If there is fever with cough get this done earlier and connect.

Avoid cold items. Rest.
If cough persists more than 2 weeks, fever, phlegm, or worsening pain get a Chest X-ray and a CBC
Avoid self starting antibiotics unless prescribed.
