Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

A persistent cough could be due to various reasons. We need to have a detailed history before identifying the cause.
1. For how long has the cough been there?
2. Is it associated with sputum or a dry cough?
3. Could you please share the lab reports?
4. Is there recurrent cold, nasal block, sneezing, breathing difficulty, or throat issues?
5. What is the age of the person? Are there any co-morbidities such as Asthma, Diabetes, or Hypertension?
6. Is the patient on any medications at present?
7. Does the person have acidity or heartburn?

If you could answer these above queries, it would be easy for us to guide you.
