thanks for your question
you need to consult a pulmonologist who can request for a chest X-ray and sputum culture for pyogenic organisms and some allergy workup .
allergic cough will go once you start antihistaminics like fexofenadine and infective cough will need broad spectrum antibiotics
for all these you need to disscuss the points with your pulmonologist so that your cough goes away
thanks

may god bless you with good health
