Ok

I had gone through all your details thoroughlly.

Following are the most common causes of chronic cough:

1. Allergies from:

  • Dust
  • Smoke
  • Pollen, mold, and freshly cut grass
  • Pets and certain plants
  • Cleaning agents and room deodorizers
  • Chemical fumes

2.Asthma- Chronic coughing can be a sign of asthma

3.Heartburn -Acid from stomach may back up into throat. This is called "acid reflux." It can cause heartburn or cough.

4.

Post-infectious
Viral
Bacterial

Cough is not a disease but a symptom of an underlying disease.

The only way to treat chronic cough is to find out the cause & treat the cause.

So I advice you to go for a complete medical check up to find the underlying disease.

Thanks

Hope this helps

Any more help....

Thanks
