Hello,my name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Chronic, persistent coughs may be caused by medical problem such as allergies, asthma, or acid reflux.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use decongestants to relieve nasal congestion by shrinking swollen nasal tissue and reducing mucus production.
-Use cough suppressants like dextromethorphan
-Use a humidifier ate home
-Drink liquids
See a doctor to diagnose properly the cause of the cough.
Hope my answer was helpful.If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
