Brief Answer:
Add nebuliser

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM

I can understand your concern

If you say that the cough is persistent than the current treatment should be changed.

So you should start nebuliser with steroids and bronchodilator such as Clenil C twice for some days.In my opinion these should be sufficient.If not then steroids intravenous once for 3-5 days may be needed.

However I think you will be better with nebuliser as I explained above.
Hope to have been helpful
