Brief Answer:
Inhaled Steroids are best.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Straight answer to your query is Using Inhaler Steroids like Budecort is the best treatment for chronic cough due to alveolitis / Bronchitis.

In my opinion you need to be further evaluated for the cause of Chronic cough . You have mentioned that you were tested and told no active Sarcoidosis in 2014. I recommend a repeat testing again now , either with HRCT scan or with Serum ACE levels test. Also get tested for Tuberculosis infection ( Either Monteaux test or TB PCR test )

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
