Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having chronic cough.
And you are not improving with routine drugs.
So possibility of chronic lung infection or bronchitis is more.. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system.
Also get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
