Hello,

Chronic cough may be due to:

1. Chronic allergy lead allergic variant of cough
2. Sinusitis with post nasal drip
3. Un-resolving pneumonia
4. Acid reflux with repeated aspiration
5. Chronic bronchitis et cetera

Avoid cool drinks and freeze water, avoid allergen causing the cough. Use water vapor inhalation, salt-water gargling, and antibiotics like Penicillin or Macrolide.

If symptoms do not improve, please consult your physician. He will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
