Hello,
This is one of those cases where one cannot reply without an examination. There are many causes of cough and it can be from infection which would need antibiotics.
There can be serious causes such as heart failure and chronic cough is a traditional sign of lung cancer.
BUT mostly, seasonal or long-standing cough is due to inflammation. It is often called asthma but it is temporary. Monteleukast is quite good for this. but cannot say in your particular case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
