Brief Answer:
chronic cough can be due to sinusitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I can understand your concern
According to the history, I don't think this cough is not due to the lung nodules.
The drainage of the secretions to the back of the throat is a sign of post nasal drip syndrome which is a condition due to the infection of the sinuses (sinusitis ).Probably an ENT specialist is needed for better evaluation regarding.
Your cough seems to be a chronic one probably due to sinusitis. Don't worry so much.
I think the lung nodules are an incidental finding which needs further follow-ups.
I hope to have been helpful
