Brief Answer:
Allergic cough
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Acute Bronchitis or a Lower respiratory tract infection.
So, getting a Chest X-ray along with a blood count is a good idea to rule out infection.
If, there is no infection, you would just need to be treated for allergic cough.
Treatment constitutes anti allergic drugs like Levocetrzine and Montelukast and in severe cases inhalers containing like Salbutamol and Steriod inhaler like Budenoside.
If you don't have a severe cough or respiratory distress, and your chest id found clear on examination, then a cough syrup containing Salbutamol, Levocetrizine, Dextromethorphan will help you greatly.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
