Suggest Treatment For Chronic Cough

I have been suffering from cough for the past 20 years. No allopathic medicine works out. Only some home medicine cures the cough that too only once. The same remedy does not have any effect the second time. All tests have shown everything normal. Once I get cold, immediately cough starts, and continues for four five months though cold gets over in a week. Please tell me what I should do to get rid of this problem permanently.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having asthma or bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis or asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
