Hello and welcome to HCM,
The cough that you are experiencing appears to be dry cough i.e. cough not associated with sputum production.
Allergy is one of the causes of dry cough, however, your cough is not responding to anti-allergic drugs.
I suggest you to take cough suppressants to control the cough.
Sometimes irritation of the throat or over-activity of cough reflex leads to continuous cough.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for prescription of cough suppressant.
Thanks and take care
