Hi,

Can you mention your age, and any past history of diseases like asthma? Any history of allergy or asthma in family?

You have a dry cough that persisted for few months, with a feeling of chest tightness that is more in cold environment, like an air conditioned room. This may indicate an allergic condition like asthma. A chronic infection like tuberculosis also possible, but usually have other symptoms like low grade persistent fever, weight loss or anorexia.

We can come to a diagnosis after physical examination, X-ray and blood tests. Your doctor will guide you.

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

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
