Hi,

Cough expectorantion doesn't always means bronchitis like infection. Cough apart from bronchitis can be from allergy as well as from acid reflux or pneumonic consolidation. Your work up done is as follows:

- Auscultation
- CBC with AEC value also
- Chest x ray -sputum examination
- Spirometry only if needed after above report

As you are having itching complaint you can have allergic cough and if CBC shows eosinophila than Allegra M like drug course prescribed for that. According to cause specific treatment plan decided. Consult pulmonologoist with keeping my answer in mind.

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

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
